Away from the capital, Macedonians
seem less preoccupied with the Greek question, but they have had to contend
with various invasions over the years, and the remains of the imposing fortress
of Tsar Samuil would seem to indicate this was never a simple matter. The fortress was built during the Middle Ages,
on the site of the original fortification built in the 4th century
BCE by Philip II.
