Ruse, River port municipality in northeastern Bulgaria.

The fifth largest city in Bulgaria extends along the right bank of the Danube River, opposite the Romanian city of Giurgiu.

The Roman naval base Sexaginta Prista, established around 70 AD, developed into a fortress during Emperor Domitian's reign in the first century.

The Regional Historical Museum houses collections from ancient times through the National Revival period in a Neo-Baroque building from 1892.

The Friendship Bridge connects Bulgaria and Romania across the Danube, making Ruse a central point for international transportation and commerce.

The first Bulgarian railway line, newspaper, and private bank originated in this city, marking its role in national modernization.
