The remains of Storgozia fortress are situated in Kailuka park near the town of Pleven. The place has been inhabited since the Bronze Age.
Storgozia was constructed from the 4th to the 6th centuries by Romans. Fortress walls are nearly two m thick and have been covered in stone.
A series of premises inside the fortress had residential and administrative purposes. An early Christian basilica was positioned in the eastern part of Storgozia. It turns out to be the second biggest basilica after the royal one in Pliska.
The fortification system, as well as the basilica have been preserved and renovated by archaeologists. Taking into account evidence, archaeologists believe that the fortress bragged beautiful interior decorations.
