Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Situada numa colina rochosa a 40 metros acima do rio, esta fortaleza medieval outrora protegia as abordagens a Plovdiv. As suas paredes maciças e nove torres preservadas datam do século XIII, quando servia como fortaleza para os czares búlgaros.
Destaques: Olha atentamente para a parede sudeste, onde está esculpido na alvenaria um único relevo de pedra de um cavaleiro a cavalo, um raro símbolo medieval preservado. Sobe à torre mais alta ao pôr do sol, quando o sol inunda todo o pátio com luz âmbar e todo o vale de Plovdiv se estende diante de ti.
Dicas de quem conhece
- Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes, the stone steps are uneven and can get slippery after rain.
- Bring water, there are no shops or drinking fountains once you enter the fortress grounds.
- The best photo spot is from the northwest tower looking back toward the main gate and mountain backdrop.
- Skip the midday heat in summer, the exposed hilltop has almost no shade.
