From the late Middle Ages, the end of the 14th century and the first quarter of the 15th century, the Pirgov Tower (from Greek pirgos – tower) has been preserved in Kyustendil. The tower is 15 metres tall and was intended for defence, which determined its functional distribution – the lower levels had a residential function, while the higher ones were equipped with embrasures and made circular defence possible. In this form, the Pirgov Tower is a great example of Medieval Velbazhd's fortification system.
