A well-preserved fortress dating back to the sixth century AD, the era of Eastern Roman emperor Justinian the Great, has been discovered at the ancient town of Moesionis near Targovishte in Northeast Bulgaria, Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) reported.

Prof. Nikolay Ovcharov, the archaeological site's scientific consultant quoted by BTA as saying some of the fortress remains are preserved at a height of at least three meters and the excavations continue.

"It is unique, because we have an incredible opportunity to understand what a fortress looked like during the time of Justinian the Great.

Furthermore, it is important that it [the fortress] encloses a sixth century bishop's residence, which shows us the tomb importance of Moesionis at that time. We know that this is largely when the cult of St. Andrew, Northeast Bulgaria’s baptizer, started", Prof. Ovcharov explained.
