But shortly after I was into a deep sleep, my mother called. She cries on the phone that the power went out in her home. We argued about why it was ringing me and not the provider. I was very angry and had a hard time sleeping. Then the whole night I was nervous and had vivid dreams.

=====================
There are no preserved medieval fortresses in Bulgaria. Almost all were destroyed as early as the 15th century, when the country was conquered by the Ottomans. The aristocracy and clergy were slaughtered and no palaces and fortresses were built on our territory for the next 500 years.
These are the remains of a medieval fortress, of which the Orthodox church is best preserved.

Are there any remnants from Ottoman rule? Did they build anything at all, or just rule from afar?
The local architectural tradition was interrupted in this period - most representative buildings of the state (palaces, castles, fortresses) and centers of culture (monastery schools and libraries, churches and others) were destroyed.Some churches survive, rebuilt as mosques
Bulgarian architecture was isolated from Western European development and didn’t pass the style series of Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, etc. The architectural monuments of that time are mainly church and residential buildings.
The general economic, political and cultural upsurge in the life of the Bulgarian people come with the Bulgarian Revival (the end of the 18th century until 1877). And also the architecture evolve.
In present days there are preserved mosques, public baths (hammam), inns, prisons and a few private homes from the 18th and 19th centuries. After the liberation in 1878 the Turkish public buildings were rebuilt by the new Bulgarian state.
Now about 10% of the population in Bulgaria are muslims and in almost every big city here there’s a mosque.
