Roman Fortress of Sexaginta Prista

Archaeological work is ongoing at this former Roman fortress at a high point along the Danube. Research attests to some 2000 years of continued military use, from an ancient Thracian settlement through the Roman period in the first centuries AD to the Slavs, Bulgarians and Turks. There are Roman fragments on display as well as older Thracian artefacts.
