Anevo Kale

The Anevo Kale fortress is located some 3.5 km north from the village of Anevo, Sopot municipality, Central Bulgaria. It is one of the most majestic Medieval mountain fortresses in Bulgaria. It was built on a rocky summit in Stara Planina, which is very hard to access. A road cut into the stones leads to the fortress. When looked from below, the Anevo Kale fortress is an impressive sight – especially the two war towers with preserved 10-m walls. The space between the towers is surrounded by a thick wall, passing down the edge of the deep precipices surrounding the fortress. Remains from churches and farm buildings have been discovered in the foot of the Anevo Kale fortress.
