In every museum representing monuments from the Antiquity and the Middle Ages, there is usually a special place for those monuments connected to the architecture, outer and inner decoration of the buildings. These are items made of marble, limestone and granite, which are very often decorated with carved ornaments different in shape and cutting depth. The name of this part of the museum is called Lapidarium/ the Lapidary Site. The name comes from two Latin words: “lapis” and “lapidarius” which mean “stone” (noun) and “stone” (adj.) respectively. The major and invariable role of the Lapidary Site is to introduce the visitor into the atmosphere of the exposition and take his imagination far back into the distant past. The Lapidary Site of “Veliki Preslav ” Museum is not an exception to that rule. It is located all the way along the entrance alley and occupies the whole space on the first floor of the exposition. You can see part of very few preserved details from Simeon’s palaces: stone-plastic decorations, cornice details, embossed capitals from the big city’s shrines and colorful marble flooring. Some of them were brought from far and wide under the king’s order, and local craftsmen skillfully cut the rest, according to the tradition but combining it with mythological subjects from old-Bulgarian art mastership.
