Vinishte, Bulgaria
Vinište is a small village in North Bulgaria, 16 kilometers north from Montana, Bulgaria. Now its population is only 400 people. It is positioned in semi-mountain region in the skirts of the Balkan mountain. There is a spectacular formation of rocks called Kamiko nearby. The village name reflects the good conditions in the region for cultivating vines and making wine (Bulgarian ''vino'', English ''wine'').
== History ==
This region of Bulgaria became part of the Roman Empire in 26 BC. About AD 150 the Roman built their stronghold in the region called it Montana, because the military division that first settled it, was recruited in the Swiss Alps. The town was populated by Latin-speaking local tribes, who later were called Wallachs by the Slavs, and the Christianity was introduced in AD 325. The Romans ruled the region more or less successfully until AD 500 when the new invaders - the Slavs - came from the North. The Slavs were powerful and fierce people that soon destroyed the Roman rule almost everywhere on the Balkans. In AD 681 the Slavonic chiefs in this region became aliers of the Bulgarian Khan. Bulgarians, originally from Asia, had made their numerous raids into the Balkans for the last two centuries before 681, when they finally settled in present-day North-Eastern Bulgaria. In the beginning of the 15th century the region of North-Western Bulgaria along with vast territories of Europe became part of the Ottoman Empire. However unlike many other parts of present-day Bulgaria, Turkish rule was not very strong in the region. The only Turks in the region were military divisions and since no Turks lived in the region, they had no support and lived almost under siege. So Vinište was relatively isolated and saved from outside influences, which helped many traditions to be saved until very recently.
Vinište is first mentioned in the 15th-century Ottoman tax documents. The village is located on an important road - the one that connects Sofia with Vidin on the Danube river and from there to Central Europe. The road was used for carrying the collected taxes and military retreat first by the Romans (from the Balkans to Central Europe), by the Bulgarians and by the Turks (from Central Europe to Constantinople). It is beyond doubt that those caravans with treasures were regular object of raids by the local people. The loot was usually buried, waiting be dug out after the authorities counter-strike blows over, but the looters not always left alive after it, so much left under the ground. The passion for seeking treasures under the ground remains until present days and in many cases, not in vain. It was normal if people found coins from the 1st centuries AD, and the Turkish gold was even more common. In 1951 during agricultural works many apparently very old items were dug out, but unfortunately they were not saved. Some of the Roman coins found around Vinishte can be seen in the Historical Museums in Montana and Sofia
