ВизантийскизамъкКалеДидимотихо

Замъкът в Дидимотихо, или както както се нарича от местните жители Кале, доминира на скалист хълм 107 м., на левия бряг на река Еритропотамос (Лударека).В местността има оцелели следи от човешко присъствие от праисторически времена. Замъкът е защитен от стена с обща дължина от около 1800 метра., която редовно се подкрепя с кръгли и правоъгълни кули, двадесет и четири на брой, които датират от предхристиянски до османските години. Най-известна и впечатляваща е кулата на Василопула (принцеса), в югоизточния ъгъл на укрепения хълм, който взема името си от легендата, че дъщерята на губернаторанагра да пада от укрепленията и се самоубива. Много характерна е плочата, която е запазена с гравиран монограм, вероятно на протостратора Михаил Глава Тархиниоти. Има няколко големи и малки външни порти по стените като най-главни са Сарайопортес, Неропортес или Калепортес и Входа (портала) при Моста в югозападната част на укрепленията близо река Еритропотамос. Близо до Неропортес (воднипорти) и северно от Калето, в подножието на западния склон се намира Пендазоно, кръгла кула с една права страна вътрешността на която бил използвана като резервоар, осигурявайки доставката на вода до замъка и укрепвайки защитата му. В подножието на хълма, във вътрешността на скалата, има пещера (издълбани кухини), които служат като резервоари за съхранение и вода в мазетата на къщите, като не се изключва и религиозна употреба на някои от тях.

SUMMARY
=======
Thrace (; Modern Greek: Θράκη, Thráki; Bulgarian: Тракия, Trakiya; Turkish: Trakya) is a geographical and historical area in southeast Europe, now split between Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey, which is bounded by the Balkan Mountains to the north, the Aegean Sea to the south and the Black Sea to the east. It comprises southeastern Bulgaria (Northern Thrace), northeastern Greece (Western Thrace) and the European part of Turkey (Eastern Thrace).
In antiquity, it was also referred to as Europe, prior to the extension of the term to describe the whole continent. The name Thrace comes from the Thracians, an ancient Indo-European people inhabiting Southeastern Europe.
