The Tsarevets Fortress (Bulgarian: Царевец) in Veliko Tarnovo is located on the hill of the same name in the former capital of Bulgaria. It is considered the most important fortress of the Second Bulgarian Empire.

The entire fortress is surrounded by thick walls up to 3.6 meters high. The fortress has three entrances or gates. The main gate, which has a drawbridge, is located in the westernmost part of the hill on a narrow rocky outcrop. The second gate is 180 meters from the first, and the third, which existed until 1889, is 450 meters further away.
