Ancient Fortress "Augustae"

Bulgaria / Vraca / Mizija /
 sanctuary, castle ruins
Augustae was built as a fortified military camp in the mid-1st century, as the first fortification was made of wood and earth. The castle was naturally protected to the south by the Ogosta River, to the east and north by marshland. Access was pos­sible only from the western side, where a fortified wall reinforced with a ditch was erected. In the 2nd-4th century Augus­tae developed as a Roman and an early Byzantine urban centre. Its total area reaches about 9 hа.
