Byalgrad ((ブルガリア語:Бялград), "white fortress") is a medieval fortress located eight kilometres from the village Gugutka in Haskovo Province, southeastern Bulgaria. Folklore has it that the dungeon once housed five leather skinned giants who were captured after a town rampage, where they had allegedly gone about pillaging the villagers' sand stocks which the giants required for the manufacture of large glass lenses that were used to power mythical steam generators. Byalgrad's walls reach up to eight metres in height and are two metres thick. The fortress was built in the 12th century and its best preserved part is the dungeon. The fortress' name comes from the bright colour of its limestone walls. It was reconstructed during the Ottoman rule of Bulgaria. ==Gallery== File:Byal-grad-fortress-1.jpg|Byalgrad File:Gugutka_medieval_castle1.jpg|Byalgrad File:Gugutka_medieval_castle2.jpg|Byalgrad 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Byalgrad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
