The Provadia fortress was built on the majestic plateau east of the town, known as Kaleto. It was used from the middle of the 3rd to the end of the 17th century, with a break from the first decades of the 7th to the 10th century. 

The Byzantines called it Provat, the Bulgarians - Ovech, and the Turks - Tash Hisar (stone fortress). 

The unique natural resources make it difficult to conquer. The fortress is protected on all sides by rocks with a height of 11 to 18 m. A narrow rocky isthmus connects it with the neighboring plateau Tabiite. There was a long wooden bridge between Kaleto and Tabia in the past.
