 The city of Rousse is situated in eastern part of North-Central Bulgaria at the mouth of the river Roussenski Lom witch is the easternmost of the right tributaries of the Danube. The Largest Bulgarian city on the Danube and the fourth largest city in Bulgaria after Sofia, Plovdiv and Varna is tradition and modernity in one.
The city was founded at the time of the Roman emperor Vespasian over the period of 69 – 79 AD as a fortress called Sexaginta Prista, meaning The harbour of the sixty ships. In the Middle Ages the Rousse region was among the most developed areas of the Bulgarian state. At the time of the Ottoman Yoke Rousse was an important fortress and the maingate to the north of the Turkish empire. It was called Rouschouk.
For a century now the first Europeanized Bulgarian city has been an epitome of the restless Bulgarian spirit witch borrowed everything valuable that Europe had to offer to lend a Bulgarian dimension and meaning to it. In the nineteenth century, Rousse was the first town in Bulgaria to acquire a pronounced European look which came an illustration of its economic prosperity at the turn of the century.
After the Liberation in 1878, Rousse continued being one of the largest towns in Bulgaria.
Today Rousse is a major junction of the east-west water- ways – European transport corridor N 7 and of the north-south motor and railways – European transport corridor N 9 from Helsinki, Finland to Aleksandropulus, Greece. The Rousse port is one of the largest in the lower course of the Danube. There is a ferry line from Rousse to the Ukrainian port Reni and the Romanian port Gurgu. The Rousse airport is at a distance of 17 kilometres, with a run- way that can receive Jumbo jets and thus get in touch with the capital city and from there, with all the world.
The Rousse bridge continues to be the main way across the Bulgarian part of the Danube. The bridge is 2.8 kilometres long and is suspended 30 metres above the water on two levels – for the trains and for vehicles. The middle part can go up and let larger ships pass under it.
