Durostorum - Drustur

Very nice place to visit. It is well maintained as well, despite the mosquitoes around (it Is a promise that the municipality will take care for them) it is a great place to walk near the river Danube and play with your kids on various kids playgrounds around the garden. Wil visit for sure again.

Update:2022 the garden is still great place to visit with your kids.

Durustorum was a former Roman fortress on the Danube banks. Later in Medieval Era was inhabited during the centuries and rebuild at certain times. Part of a great complex (both for defense and commercial meanings), the old city is now included in Silistra town, which is a very pretty and interesting place on the border between Romania and Bulgaria. So basically this place can be reached easily from both countries, being an ideal spot for one day break!

A scenic full-acess ancient ruin on the side of the beautiful Danube River. Around it is a well-maintained park for romantic walks and for any joggers looking for a unique view.

The only cons :
There are not many information boards in English which would be quite helpful for foreigners visiting this charming and peaceful town called Silistra.

Remnants of the old fortification of Durostorum, which
was in ancient times the Roman legionary base on the Lower Danube fasting back to year 29 BC. Former Byzantine location became nowadays Bulgarian town of Silistra. Area around the archeological site has informative plates with details of its history, good marked passages and downstairs exposition on the history of that place and surrounded.

There are no tickets, it's free of charge. There is a fee parking nearby. The place is amazing.
Strongly recommend visiting 👌

One of the popular attractions at the town. A historic place with a lot of energy, that can interact with people who are interested about how this town was created and how old is it.

It's a part of our ancient history! Beautiful ruins that reminds us, who we are and how important is to keep Legends alive. The Old Roman Empire General, Flavius Aetius who stopped Attila to burn Rome has been born here. There is many more stories, but they are not part of the review.

Good spot to get married.

Very good for photography

This is Silistra, my birthplace where ancient past meets the future. Durostorum and Drastar are some of the names of the city through the centuries. Nowadays there are a lot of archeological objects around and in the city, that are worthwhile to be visited. Remains of an old fortress are near to the river Danube and are well preserved, just to tell you a story about the glorious days pf the city.

Looked nice, no TKTS...

As an ancient and historical place, symbol of Silistra - it is a nice place to visit
