Storgosia, Roman fortress and archaeological site in Kaylaka Park, Pleven, Bulgaria.

The fortress complex contains two gates, three defensive towers, residential buildings, and a church measuring 45 meters in length.

Initially established as a Roman road station, Storgosia expanded into a fortress after 238 AD in response to Gothic raids.

The site contained a garrison of Legio I Italica from Novae, representing Roman military presence in the Balkan Peninsula.

Access requires parking at Kaylaka Park's main lot and walking to the site, as vehicle access remains restricted.

The fortress walls measured 2.20 meters in width and enclosed 31,000 square meters of fortified space during the 4th century.
