The legendary Fort Rupel in the Serres area was the complex which was the defensive protection of an entire area for the prohibition of passage along the Kresna - Rupel axis. The fortress is essentially a large complex which extends over a front of 2,500 metres. Built at 1,339 metres, it included 123 active parapets during its operation, had 4,251 metres of communication galleries and large underground spaces.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In total, it covered an area of about 6,000 metres and was a well-established fortress for the garrison as well as for the storage of material. Its history dates back to the First World War when it was occupied by German-Bulgarian forces. Later, and in particular in the 1930s, the issue of fortification was taken more seriously.<\/p>

The total garrison at Fort Rupel reached 1,397 men while there were only eight guns in well-hidden positions around it. This was a small force compared to the German armoured forces. Their equipment was far superior not only numerically but also technologically to that of the Greeks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Fort Rupel is today a monument and a sight of the bravery and valour of the Greeks who stayed there until the end to ensure the freedom of all Greeks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
