This 10-meter tall statue honors one of Bulgaria’s most important rulers – khan Krum, remembered for his military achievements and for instituting the first known written Bulgarian law code, outlawing thievery, murder and slander under pain of severe punishment, and assuring state protection to all poor citizens of his country. He is depicted atop a horse in full battle regalia. Inside the statue’s pedestal is a time capsule bearing a message to future generations.
