Kurshumlu Mosque

Kurshumlu Mosque is of the so-called "sultan type". The prayer hall is covered with a massive stone dome, which is "placed" on a square base and four pandadives . The dome has a two-layer construction of stone and bricks. The mural decoration dates from the period 1730 - 1800 and is executed extremely professionally. It is mostly concentrated in the richly painted walls, in the ceiling and in the carpeted floor. The decoration of the interior walls is made of colored stones, as well as the masonry of the windows and doors. The mosque is considered the third most important in northeastern Bulgaria, after Shumen's Tombul Mosque and Razgrad's Ibrahim Pasha Mosque .

St Apostles' Church

The Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul was built by Matei Basarab in 1636 on the site of the ancient wooden church of the Târnov monastery. The religious complex is classified as a historical monument. Ceaușescu's plans to redesign the city center in the 1980s threatened to demolish hundreds of buildings and monuments, including churches. To be saved from destruction, the St Apostles' Chruch was relocated as part of a plan led by Romanian engineer Eugen Iordăchescu.
