Roman Fortress "Sexaginta Prista" (Ruse)

The fortress is situated in the modern-day northwestern part of Ruse City, on a hill­side close to the Danube banks. The first Roman military camp (from the end of the 1st to the end of the 3rd century) was prob­ably situated at the mouth of the Rusens­ki Lom River. The Sexaginta Prista fortress occupied an area of 4-5 ha. The remains on the hill (2nd–3rd century) are believed to belong to civil buildings, probably of a settlement near the camp which oper­ated also as a cult centre.

  • Is it open for visits? I ask because I often come across that place but it seems closed and not having any banners or something in English is a drawback for me.
