Sexaginta Prista

The Roman fortress remains include stone walls, the temple of Apollo, and military buildings positioned on elevated terrain beside the Danube River.

Established in the first century, Sexaginta Prista operated as a Roman military camp and port facility until the Gothic raids in the fourth century.

The excavated votive tablets, ceramic fragments, and sacrificial altars demonstrate the religious practices of Roman soldiers stationed at this frontier location.

Visitors can explore the open-air museum at Tsar Kaloyan Street 2 in Ruse, which displays archaeological findings and scale models of Roman sites.

The site contains a German World War II bunker that houses an exhibition of religious artifacts from the ancient Roman province of Lower Moesia.
