Silistra, Border town on the Danube River in northeastern Bulgaria.
The city stretches along the southern bank of the Danube River, featuring a mix of modern buildings and historical structures at six meters elevation.
Romans established the military camp Durostorum in 29 AD, which developed into a significant center housing the Legio XI Claudia military unit.
The city contains several archaeological sites, including a Late Roman tomb with preserved frescoes and remnants of medieval fortifications from different periods.
The river port manages substantial grain traffic while connecting to the main railway system between Ruse and Varna through regular transportation services.
The region produces specific boards made from river rushes, contributing to local manufacturing alongside textiles, furniture, and packaging materials.
