Ovech Fortress, Provadia, Bulgaria (part I, drone footage)
Video provided by Christian Mitsov:
Ovech is a medieval fortress, located east of today's town of Provadia. It is situated on a plateau above the town, named Kaleto.
The fortress was built by the Byzantines and operated from the 4th century until the beginning of the 7th century, then almost a century is not active. Its rebirth began in the 11th century and ended at the end of the 17th century. However, Thracian presence was proven before the founding of the fortress. The greatest prosperity took place during the Second Bulgarian Kingdom. The Byzantines called the fortress Provaton, the Bulgarians Ovech and the Turks Tash Hissar (stone fortress). In the historical chronicles of the 12th century, the fortress is also referred to as the name of Burntha.
Today the fortress has left the fully renovated bridge facility between the fortress and the Tabia Plateau, some water wells, grain sheds, guard towers, the northern stone gate, the nobles' prisons, and the wounded citizens and prisoners of war, and the marble columns of Khan Omurtag.

Drone Aerial Footage, Fortress Ovech - Bulgaria, 2017
Ovech Fortress is a stone stronghold located east of the town of Provadia, 53 km west of Varna and 410 km east of Sofia.
The fortress is mentioned under different names in the historical chronicles. The oldest one is the Byzantine name Provat. Bulgarians referred to it as Ovech, while Turks called it Tash hisar (which translates from Turkish as stone fortress). Archaeological research established that the fortress was used in periods from the 3rd century to the first decades of the 7th century, and then from the 10th-11th centuries until the end of the 17th century.
The fortress was inhabited successively by Thracians, Romans, Byzantines, Bulgarians, and Turks. It is related to the reign of Tsar Ivaylo (1277 – 1280), the crusade of Amadeus IV, Count of Savoy (1366), and the crusade of Vladislav Varnenchik (1444).
The fortress has three entrances. The eastern access way has been preserved in its original form with stairs carved into the rock. It is convenient for visitors who have their own means of transportation.
The western entrance is accessible from the town through the original 111-step spiral staircase.
The northern entrance is the main entrance of the fortress. A 150 m-long bridge structure is built in front of it connecting the stronghold with the adjacent Tabiite Plateau
The golden years of Ovech were in the period 12th–14th century, when the fortress was a military, religious, economic, and administrative centre of the region.
When at the fortress visitors can also see the talking 79 m-deep well, the bishop’s church, the knight’s prison, the tower with the devil’s path, and the Friars’ holes.
The fortress is open all year round.
A guide assigned by the Museum of History of Provadia is available in the fortress.
