Russe
Russe
Russe is Bulgaria's largest river port. The town began as a fortified Roman harbor called "Sexantaprista" (Sixty Ships) in the 1st century B.C. and was later destroyed by barbarians in the 7th century. The Ottomans built a new town, Roustchouk, which bore the names of Cherven and Rousse. Under the Turks, the town became an established trade center and a vital military base with a fortress. The Ruse-Varna railway, built in 1866, greatly contributed to the growth of the town as well.
