Belogradchik Rocks and Kaleto
Belogradchik, Vidin, Bulgaria Some of Belogradchik Rocks are a natural fortification of the Kaleto Belogradchik , so that very few walls had to be constructed to create the fortress. Actually only two sides are constructed by men, the others are natural rocks. Within Kaleto there is not really room for housing people, so it is more of a last defence than a medieval castle with its surrounding walls and the protected village within the walls. Yet, some period of siege was "survivable" as there is indeed a well for fresh water within the fortification. uuid="03A3C9A4-B941-413E-ACCC-7F6330D88717" id="Bulgaria lilleulven.com _K3_12471.DNG Bulgaria lilleulven.com"
