Lonely Planet review for Vasil Levski Museum
Further up ul Vasil Levski, a small park contains the disused and closed Kurshum Mosque, built in 1485 during the Ottoman occupation. Continue up the mall to the town square, then head left (west) for about 300m, past the clock tower, to the Vasil Levski Museum. This set of rooms around a cobblestone courtyard contains several exhibits about Levski with explanations in English. Ask the caretaker to show you the modern shrine, where you can see a lock of Levski’s hair while listening to taped religious chants in Bulgarian. A guided tour in English costs 2.50 lv per person.
