The Kaliakra Fortress tells a popular story about how the long, narrow headland was formed and its historical vicissitudes during the Turkish and later Roman invasions.
It also tells the legend of 40 virgin girls who preferred death to dishonour. It is said that when the Turks ravaged the region and captured them as a reward for the warriors, they decided to throw themselves off the cliff.
The legend echoes true events related to the heroic resistance of the fortress. Indeed, Kaliakra was the last Bulgarian fortress to fall under the onslaught of the invaders.
