Nikopol, Border town in northern Bulgaria
Nikopol extends along chalk cliffs on the right bank of the Danube River, positioned opposite the Romanian city of Turnu Măgurele at 179 meters elevation.
The Battle of Nikopol in 1396 marked a decisive victory for Ottoman forces against Crusader armies, establishing Turkish control over the Balkan region for centuries.
The Church of Saints Peter and Paul stands as a religious center in Nikopol, reflecting the architectural and spiritual traditions of Bulgarian Orthodox Christianity.
A car ferry service connects Nikopol to Turnu Măgurele in Romania across the Danube River, facilitating international trade and transportation between both countries.
The medieval Shishman fortress, positioned on limestone cliffs, contains preserved sections of Roman fortifications that once formed part of the Limes Moesiae defense system.
