View of the Belogradchik Rocks from the Belogradchik Fortress

Highlight • Viewpoint

Belogradchik Fortress is an ancient fortress on the northern slopes of the Balkan Mountains. It is one of the best-preserved fortresses in Bulgaria and a cultural monument of national importance.
The original fortress was built between the 1st and 3rd centuries, when the region was part of the Roman Empire. The surrounding rock formations served as natural protection. Fortified walls were practically only built on the northwest and southeast sides, as the courtyard was surrounded on the other sides by cliffs up to 70 meters high.
Originally, Belogradchik Fortress served as a surveillance facility rather than a purely defensive one.
It was last used for warfare during the Serbian-Bulgarian War of 1885.

The landscape is inviting, in the Bulgarian territory it borders between Serbia and Romania. Unfortunately, a long journey does not allow me to deepen my knowledge of this territory which looks fantastic 😁
