Review:
Popularly known as "Kaleto," the Belogradchik Fortress can be found on the slopes of the Balkan Mountains. The historical and cultural attraction draws tourists from around the world as it is one of the best-preserved strongholds in Bulgaria. The fortress, which is built into the rocks that surround it, was initially constructed at a time when the land was a part of the Roman Empire. Visitors can explore the nationally renowned structure and better understand the architectural marvels that are found within its construction. Other visitors will appreciate the fortress' history more as the fortress was captured by the Ottomans in the 1300s and played a role during the Serbo-Bulgarian War in 1885.
Address: Belogradchik Fortress, ul. "Dedo Bozhin" 15, 3900 Belogradchik, Bulgaria
