Analytical specification of the location, shape, and size of the eastern bastion and the outline of the southeastern wall of the medieval citadel of Varna, made during a study of the building of the Museum of New History of Varna

Summary/Abstract: This publication reveals the location, shape, and size of the eastern bastion and the outline of the southeastern wall of the medieval citadel of Varna. It emerges as a significant finding from an architectural study of the building of the current Museum of Contemporary History of Varna at 3 Osmi Noemvri St. Originally built as a residence around 1832, the building has served various functions, including a consulate for the Kingdom of Belgium, a hotel, dormitories for a naval school, a state prison, a workshop, and a storage facility for theatrical scenery before becoming a museum in 1969. Notably, during its excavation in 1965, a trapezoidal section in the southeastern corner of the basement remained unexplored. The publication shares a hypothesis that this unexplored structure is part of the eastern bastion of the medieval citadel, that it was hexagonal, that 1/3 of it was inside the fortress wall, and that the building under study was built on the foundations of the destroyed citadel after the war of 1828–1829 between the Russian and Ottoman empires.
