Vidin Province, Administrative province in northwestern Bulgaria.
The province spans 3,032 square kilometers along the Danube River, featuring dense forests, meadows, and the western sections of the Danubian Plain.
The territory formed a crucial defensive line during medieval times with fortifications like Baba Vida castle protecting Bulgarian lands from northern invasions.
The Magura Cave contains prehistoric paintings dating from 10,000 BC, displaying early human settlements and artistic expressions in this region.
The province consists of eleven municipalities with Vidin city serving as its administrative center, connecting Bulgaria to Romania through the Danube Bridge 2.
The Belogradchik Rocks formation extends throughout the province, creating natural limestone sculptures shaped by millions of years of erosion.
