WELCOME TO RUSE
|
" ... All that I experienced afterwards had already been in Roustchouk" - Elias Canetti Ruse is the largest Bulgarian city (184,000 residents) on the Danube River. It is situated in the northeastern part of Bulgaria, at 300 km from the capital Sofia.
The town was founded at the time of the Roman emperor Vespasian over the period of 69 - 79 AD as a fortress called Sexaginta Prista, meaning Harbor of the Sixty Ships. The fortress existed up to the 6th century when the Avars brought it to ruins.
In the Middle Ages the region of Ruse was among the most developed areas of the Bulgarian state. At the time of the Ottoman Yoke Ruse (Rouschouk) was an important fortress and the main gate to the north of the Turkish empire.
In the 19th century, Ruse was the first town in Bulgaria to acquire a pronounced European look. For its economic and cultural prosperity at the turn of the century the town gained the nickname "Little Paris". |

Each spring the city hosts an international music festival " March Symphony Days ". The district library, the art galleries and museums., provide a proper medium for cultural activities.
Some 23 km south-west of Ruse there is an unique archeological reserve - the remarkable Ivanovo rock monasteries. Located at a height of 6 to 8 meters, the cells have been inhabited by monks until the 17th century.
In its long 19-century-old history and progress Ruse has always been organically bound to the great river, the Danubian waterway and the Danubian countries.
After the opening of the Rhein - Main - Danube canal which covers 3,500 km and connects thirteen European countries with the Near and Far East via the Black Sea, the river becomes the longest inland waterway on the planet. |
