The&nbsp;Mayor of Sofia,&nbsp;Yordanka Fandakova, who in her youth has been a teacher in&nbsp;Belchin, also attended the&nbsp;ceremony.&nbsp;Culture Minister,&nbsp;Petar Stoyanovich, and the Mayors of&nbsp;Belchin&nbsp;and&nbsp;Samokov&nbsp;were present as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The construction of the fortress has started during the rule of&nbsp;Emperor Valentinian I&nbsp;in the 4th century AC. The location has been selected because it is strategic and allows monitoring of the entire valley and protection of its western side. The settlement itself is also related to the mineral springs, the deposits of magnetite sand and the strategic junction of two ancient roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Until recently, the fortress has never been used by the Bulgarian State. Several years ago, archaeological excavations revealed that it was huge and covered an area of over 14 decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The EU funded the restoration project with BGN 5.5 M. The Tsari Mali Grad Fortress Tsari Mali Grad was chosen as Bulgaria&#8217;s most significant archeological discovery in the new millennium in Standart&#8217;s Wonders of Bulgaria referendum finale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The project included the rebuilding of the fortress walls, and the construction of a museum and a church. In one of the fortresses towers an elevator with BIOFIAL HYDRAULICS products was installed for the convenience of the visitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">A specials thanks to &#8220;LEONLIFT Ltd\u201d company and personally to Mr. Milen Hazday, one of our dozen customers in Bulgaria, who has successfully undertaken this specific project and provided us all the information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2416\" data-src=\"https:\/\/biofial.gr\/biofial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/DSC_0022-192x341.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2416 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 192px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 192\/341;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-id=\"2415\" data-src=\"https:\/\/biofial.gr\/biofial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/942735_646073045405637_1698393961_n-copy-192x257.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2415 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 192px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 192\/257;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2412\" data-src=\"https:\/\/biofial.gr\/biofial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/19_l-192x288.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2412 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 192px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 192\/288;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2411\" data-src=\"https:\/\/biofial.gr\/biofial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/\u03b1\u03c1\u03c7\u03b5\u03af\u03bf-\u03bb\u03ae\u03c8\u03b7\u03c2-192x127.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2411 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 192px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 192\/127;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2410\" data-src=\"https:\/\/biofial.gr\/biofial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Tzari_mali_grad_Belchin-6-192x114.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2410 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 192px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 192\/114;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-id=\"2409\" data-src=\"https:\/\/biofial.gr\/biofial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/6781451b-192x126.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2409 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 192px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 192\/126;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/biofial.gr\/biofial\/wp-content\/uploads\/tsari_mali_grad.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visit Bulgaria<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/www.standartnews.com\/english\/read\/tsari_mali_grad_chosen_as_nr1_wonder_of_bulgaria_-1642.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Standart News<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 1st Fully Restored Roman Fortress Opened its Doors in Bulgaria The first fully&nbsp;restored&nbsp;Roman fortress&nbsp;in Bulgaria in the village of&nbsp;Belchin&nbsp;near the mountain town of&nbsp;Samokov&nbsp;has opened its doors for visitors.
