The fortress Bukelon is located near the village of Matochina, the municipality of Svilengrad. The fortress is situated on a high hill, in the north end of the village and is encircling the whole ridge with its length of 150 meters and width of 60 meters. With its 18 meters height, the fortress Bukelon is an impressive and majestic view among the surrounding landscape. The citadel itself has the form of a cross, and the shorter part of the cross is oriented towards east, and the longer - towards west. In the year of 387 there was a great battle which took place here between the armies of the Emperor Valens and the Goths that ended with the complete rout of the Roman army and the death of the emperor. Here in 1205, the army of tsar Kaloyan defeated the army of the knight - crusaders, and captured their leader - Emperor Baldwin of Flanders. The legend says that the emperor had spent his first night as a prisoner into this fortress. That is the reason why it is also known as the Baldwin Tower among the people living in this area.
