Vidin is a port city on the southern bank of the Danube in northwestern Bulgaria. One of its most popular attractions is Baba Vida Fortress, a medieval castle preserved in its original form. According to legend, the fortress takes its name from the eldest daughter of a Bulgarian boyar, Vida, who rejected all proposals for marriage after witnessing the unsuccessful marriages of her sisters. Instead, she built an impregnable castle as her hideaway. The fort served as an armory and prison during the reign of the Ottoman Empire. Enjoy the views of the Danube from the top.
