Hotalich, Medieval fortress museum in Sevlievo, Bulgaria.
The stone fortress extends across 15 acres with four residential neighborhoods, featuring defensive towers and multiple stone buildings on two levels.
Constructed by Byzantines in the 5th century, the fortress underwent substantial modifications in the 10th century when Bulgarian forces enhanced its defensive capabilities.
Archaeological excavations revealed two Christian temples, a Byzantine basilica from the 5th century, and a residence belonging to the local Bulgarian nobility.
The fortress grounds contain designated picnic areas with tables and benches, while a forest path leads visitors to the elevated citadel section.
The fortress ranks among the largest medieval Bulgarian settlements, with its outer section spanning 50 acres and containing remnants of one hundred dwellings.
