One of the most visited landmarks of Kyustendil is the ancient medieval Hisarlaka Fortress. Located on the hill of the same name overlooking the town, the fortress was originally built in the 4th century and was in continuous use all the way until the 15th century when it was destroyed by the Ottoman conquerors. Today, part of the fortress wall has been restored and integrated in a magnificent way into the overall design of Hisarlaka Forest Park — a beautiful park with infrastructure for tourism, recreation, and sport.
