    The remains of a roman city. It is a nice place for a picnic in the weekend. There is a parking and a barbecue. There is a small fee to enter the ruins.

    Nothing special,but does hurt to be seen if you're passing by. Shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to "tour".

    This arheological site is very lucky with such a devoted arheologist to manage it , as Oleg Alexandrov. Impressed by the results of his work - only 4 years of research at the site and such a big part of it is ready for conservation ...

  • 5/5 Искрен �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) An interesting archeological site, with regard to visitors. There is a need to replace the signboards as well as a new concept for presenting the story of the place. Easy access and quiet environment. (Original) Интересен археологически обект, с отношение към посетителите. Има нужда от подмяна на табелите, както и от нова концепция за представянето на разказа за мястото. Лесен достъп и спокойна среда.

  • 4/5 Емил �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great welcome by the employee there. There is still work to be done, but what has been done is not small. Worth to visit. (Original) Чудесно посрещане от страна на служителката там. Има какво да се свърши още, но и това, което е направено не е малко. Заслужава да се посети.

  • 1/5 Михаил �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is sad when a century-old history is not preserved and time erases it. Over BGN 3,500,000. were given for this project, but instead of investing in the leveling of the fortress, everything else was done, but not the restoration of history, which could bring thousands of tourists .. Sad and unfortunate. (Original) Тъжно е, когато вековна история не се съхранява и времето я заличава.. Над 3.500 000лв. са дадени за тизи проект, но вместо да се инвестира в рвновиране на крепостта е направено всичко друго, но не и реставрация на историята, която би могла да доведе хиляди туристи.. Тъжно и жалко.

    Excellent place to visit with the friendliest staff! The place is wonderful for children and there is a small fee to enter the indoor exhibition area.

  • 4/5 Rhonda Effron B. 4 years ago on Google
    It was our first time here and it came highly recommended. Good job on the atmosphere. Enjoyed playing pool while we waited. Both had the fish n chips which was decent, presented nicely with lemon wedges and a large portion. Disappointed and surprised that there were no salads available. The staff was quite cordial. We’ll try another day and hope for some fresh veg.

    (Translated by Google) Even though my childhood was within 30-40km of this interesting place, just a pure coincidence and a cursory glance at the information board made me push for brakes and stray to see it for the first time. What can I tell you, historically, the place is very curious but unfortunately completely ignored for years. All the valuable finds, and they are not a little for display at the museums, and part of the fort complex is buried under another attempt to save money for the construction of the highway. In recent years, the complex has been modernized, parking, lighting, alleys are provided, a barbecue area plus a vending machine and coffee maker are provided. The best part of the complex is the amphitheater-shaped scene and the museum complex consisting of a museum building and an open-air exposition, namely the walls and buildings. Let me first list some of the things that made me feel good: - security, cameras and lighting; - presence of children's playground; - extremely courteous welcome from the museum curator; - the pleasant walk along the wooden paths of the open exposure in the company of a murmuring mustache guide. Negative emotions were only related to the proven widespread incompetence of the contracting-ARCHITECT-contractor team. It is not in vain that the "Architect" is capitalized in this case. It is-good, but you can not choose the right materials and details to achieve quality idalgotrayno implementation of its design and building time at the lowest point of the level of the neighboring swamp that it can be regularly filled with water ... , you definitely need a "talent" for that. I got a little spooked ... anyway. The place is really worth a visit and don't forget about the somber guide;) (Original) Въпреки че детството ми премина на 30-40км от това интересно място, само една чиста случайност и бегъл поглед към информационната табела ме накара да набия спирачки и да се отклоня за да го разгледам за първи път. Какво да ви кажа, от историческа гледна точка мястото е много любопитно но за жалост напълно игнорирано с години. Всички ценни находки, а те не са малко за изнесени по музеите, а част от крепосния комплекс е погребан под поредния опит да се спестят средства по изграждане на автомобилния път. През последните години е била изпълнена модернизация на комплекса, осигурен е паркинг, осветление, алеи, оформено е кът за барбекю плюс вендинг машина и кафе автомат. Най хубавото в комплекса са сцената с форма на амфитеатър и музейния комплекс състоящ се от музейна сграда и открита експозиция а именно крепосните стени и сгради. Нека първо изредя малко от нещата които ми направиха добро впечатление: - наличие на охрана, камери и осветление; - наличие на децки кът; - изключително учтивото посрещане от музейния уредник; - приятната разходка по дървените пътеки на откритата експозиция в компанията на един мъркащ мустакат екскурзовод. Отрицателните емоции бяха свързани само с доказаната повсеместно некомпетентност на отбора "възложител-АРХИТЕКТ-изпълнител". Не напразно "Архитекта" е с главни букви в случая. То бива-бива, но да не можеш да избереш правилните материали и детайли за да постигнеш качествено идълготрайно изпълнение на своя замисъл и да навреш сградата в най ниската точка на нивото на съседното блато че да може тя редовно да се пълни с вода..., определо си трябва "талант" за това. Малко се отплеснах..., както и да е. Мястото наистина си заслужава да се посети и не забравяйте за мъркащия екскурзовод ;)

    (Translated by Google) Quite by accident, last summer, returning from a trip, we decided to stop for a vacation. Then a kind lady offered me a talk and explained to me that one of the archaeologists was currently digging and giving a talk. I found it interesting and agreed. He was a young boy who explained to me quite interestingly about the warehouse, the bathrooms, and that at that time they were digging something that they were still not sure what it was and assumed it was a church. Today I took 2 more families there and told them that they would like it very much, and I was curious what this building was like. To my great regret, no one was there today. There were many tourists. I asked one of the families if there was a guide and they replied that they have been waiting for this for 1 hour. Others told me - go straight, it seems to be on Saturday and Sunday. I was terribly disappointed. I just can't figure out how this great place is left on a weekend (when most people travel) without a guide. (Original) Съвсем случайно миналото лято на връщане от екскурзия решихме да спрем за почивка. Тогава една любезна госпожа ми предложи беседа и ми обясни, че в момента се коапе и беседа ще изнесе един от археолозите. Стана ми интересно и се съгласих. Беше едно младо момче, което доста интересно ми обясни за склада, за баните и че тогава копаеха нещо, което все още не бяха сигурни какво е и предполагаха че е църква. Днес заведох там още 2 семейства и им казах че много ще им хареса, а и ми беше любопитно каква е тази сграда. За мое огромно съжаление днес там нямаше никой. Имаше много туристи. Попитах едно от семействата дали има екскурзовод и те ми отговориха че и те това чакат вече 1 час. Други пък ми казаха-влизай направо то май събота и неделя е така. Останах страшно разочарован. Просто не съумявам как това страхотно място е оставено през почивните дни (когато най-много хора пътуват) без екскурзовод.

    (Translated by Google) They did what they could. Nice place. There is a small museum that can be visited for a modest sum of levs, but there is no guide - they took it to the museum in Popovo.

(Original) Каквото са могли,са направили. Приятно място. Има си малък музей, който може да бъде разгледан срещу скромната сума от левче,но няма екскурзовод-прибрали са си го в музея в Попово.Има си място за сядане с вендинг машина и кафе автомат,детска площадка, барбекю и чешма-културна работа!Малко внимание трябва да се обърне на поддръжката на мястото!
