Review & FAQ:
Said to be the only entirely preserved medieval castle in the country, the construction of Baba Vida goes back to the 10th century. At one point, the fortress was Vidin's main and most important defensive aspect during the Middle Ages. It was destroyed during a siege by Byzantine forces and re-erected during Ivan Stratsimir's rule. Visitors no longer have to worry about Baba Vida being conquered as it now houses a museum dedicated to its legendary history. The museum-fortress experience is a fun-filled one that the entire family will enjoy as it takes visitors back in time.
