Momchil's Fortress

A fortress on a rocky peak at 1,215 m above the village of Gradat, built under Emperor Justinian I in the 6th century and rebuilt in the 11th. In the 14th century it was linked with Momchil Yunak, who ruled the Rhodopes almost as an independent lord. The path to the top is about 1 km and takes half an hour, and the view is open in every direction.
