Nebet Tepe, Ancient fortress and hill in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
The archaeological site contains fortification walls, towers, and a stone reservoir built into the highest of Plovdiv's seven hills.
The fortress dates to 4000 BC, with subsequent expansions by Thracians, Macedonians, and Romans, serving as a military stronghold through multiple civilizations.
The name derives from Turkish words 'nevbet' meaning guard and 'tepe' meaning hill, reflecting the site's historical function as a garrison.
Visitors can access the remains of ancient walls, explore a Roman-era secret tunnel, and view architectural elements from different historical periods.
The fortress features a hidden underground passage with a staircase from the 6th century that connected the citadel to the Maritsa river.
