Mezdra, Bulgaria Season 2 Video 2
Seven thousand years of history can be seen at the fortress located at Mezdra, Bulgaria. Archaeological finds from the prehistoric layers at Mezdra show specialized craftsmen workshops that functioned until the end of the 5th millenium BC.
A prehistoric shrine was found three meters below the present surface of the central section of Mezdra. Two large auroch skulls and a stone shaped like a bulls head were found which makes it a unique find in Europe.
During the 3rd century a large shrine complex and temple was founded at Mezdra. By the 4th century the pagan temple ceased to exist and the fortifications were renovated. In the 6th century a number of structures were built divided by narrow streets.
A proto-Bulgarian fortress existed on the site between the 12th and 14th centuries. The fortification was destroyed and abandoned after the Ottoman invasion.

The Devil's Bridge | Bulgaria
I heard about this bridge some time ago and decided that during our stay in Bulgaria this June 2019 ...
Enjoy the flight and find below some more information about this old arch bridge
The 'Dyavolski most' is an arch bridge over the Arda River situated in a narrow gorge. It is located 10 km (6.2 mi) from the Bulgarian town of Ardino in the Rhodope Mountains and is part of the ancient road connecting the lowlands of Thrace with the north Aegean Sea coast.
Dyavolski most was rebuilt between 1515 and 1518 by the Bulgarian Master Dimitar under the Ottoman occupation of Bulgaria. The legend has it, the bridge was built by the Romans to link the Aegean Sea and the region of Thrace in Bulgaria. The bridge, the largest and best known of its kind in the Rhodopes, is 56 m long and has three arches, but also features holes with small semicircular arches to read water level. The Dyavolski most has a width of 3.5 m and its main arch is 11.50 m high. A stone parapet, 12 cm in height, is preserved on the sides, and breakwaters are placed opposite the stream.
For the legend, it is said that you can see the devil's head when tilting your head and looking at the reflection of the bridge in the water on a sunny day ...
