Hissar fortress Roman ruins, also known as Hisar, Hissar or Hissarya, Balkans, Bulgaria
Hisarya (also known as Hisar, Hissar or Hissarya) is a small resort town in Bulgaria. Located in the outskirts of the Sredna Gora mountain range, it is well known of a very mild climate and over two dozen different mineral springs, which make it a favorite spa for many Bulgarian and foreign tourists. Because of these springs, the town was founded thousands of years ago. Many Roman ruins are still visible everywhere - public buildings, a small amphitheatre, the barracks of the Roman garrison, the foundations of a couple of the oldest churches in Bulgaria, as well as the best preserved Roman fortress in Bulgaria. The southern gate is known as "The Camels", because it had broken in the middle and looked like two camels facing each other, before it was partially restored in the early 20th century.
