Montana district is situated in the central part of northwest Bulgaria. It reaches the Danube to the North, where the border with Romania passes. In southwest touches Serbia. Its surface is 3 635sq.km. The history of Montana district dates back to ancient times. During the antiquity the region was populated by the Thracian tribe “Tribali”. Once it becomes part of the Eastern Roman Empire the settlements of  “Montanenzium”/Montana/, “Almus” /Lom/ and “Medeke” /Varshetz/ emerge. Later on the Slav tribes arrive and then the Bulgarians.
