The city is with the old century history, where Thracians, Romans, Bulgarians, Hungarians, Ottomans left their signs here.

During the XIVth.-XVth. century this was one of the capitals of the Bulgarian kingdoms and survived more than the others. For the ottomans, this was a transit point to Viena and Central Europe. After the liberation, when Vidin became a part of the 3rd Bulgarian kingdom, it took a part in the wars, to protect the inner lands.

Baba Vida Fortress
The fortress Baba Vida in the city of Vidin, Northwest Bulgaria. The construction of that fortress began in the 10th century over the ruins of the roman castel Bononia. Bononia was a part of the Danubian Limes - a defensive line with forts and castels to push the barbarians away from the Roman empire.
During the middle ages, the fortress served to Eastern Romans, Bulgarians, Hungarians. This stronghold and the near town became the capital of the separated Bulgarian kingdom of Ivan Sratsimir. After the unsuccessful crusade against the Ottomans, Baba Vida fell in their hands. It was a strategic key to the roads in Central Europe.
Baba Vida took an important role in the Serbian-Bulgarian war (1885), after the result of the Union of Bulgaria.
Now Baba Vida is a tourist attraction and like a real movie set!
