Svishtov, Border town in northern Bulgaria
Svishtov extends along the right bank of the Danube River, forming a natural frontier with Romania at an elevation of 88 meters.
The settlement originated as the Roman military base Novae in 70 AD under Emperor Vespasian, serving as a strategic defense point against northern tribes.
The D.A. Tsenov Academy of Economics, established in 1936, transformed this riverside location into a center of education for Bulgarian students.
The town maintains regular ferry connections across the Danube to Zimnicea, Romania, facilitating transportation between both countries.
Following the Russo-Turkish War of 1877, Svishtov marked history as the initial entry point for Russian troops into Bulgarian territory.
