Area size of Village of Matochina: 26.011km2
Population of Village of Matochina: 54 inhabitants (to 01/01/2006)

Village of Matochina (Haskovo District) is located in South-Central Bulgaria. It is part of Svilengrad Municipality.

Matochina is a village settlement on the bank of the Tundzha river, some 40 kilometers north-east of Svilengrad, in close proximity to the border with Turkey. From the nearby Fortress only the citadel remains. Best preserved are the defence tower near the entrance, and a piece of double fortress wall near the door, rising to 18 meters above ground. From the outer fortification only slight traces remain.
Archeologists have dated the fortress to be from the Roman epoch and concluded that those are the remains of the famous Bukelon Fortress, where the glorious battle for Adrianopol between Emperor Valent’s troops and the Goths was held in 378. The Roman army was crashed and the emperor perished in battle. The fortress was used and reconstructed over the centuries.
The place also relates to another epic battle from the Bulgarian history. Here in 1205 the troops of Tsar Kaloyan defeated the Knights Army of the Latins and took their Emperor Baldwin of Flanders prisoner near the fortress at Matochina.

Svilengrad municipality is located in the west-eastern part of Haskovo county on a territory of 705.37 sq.m., which ranks it at the third position regarding its size in the county. The slopes of Sakar mountain are in its north-eastern part , to the south-west - the eastern parts of the Rhodopes. In a physical and geographical respect its territory includes parts of Gornotrakiiska valley, Sakar mountain and the Rhodopes.
The municipality of Svilengrad has the exceptional prerequisite to be a boundary of Haskovo county and Bulgaria with two neighbouring countries – Turkey and Greece. This defines its leading role in the future development of the European transport corridors, connecting Western and Central Europe with the Near and the Far East.
Svilengrad municipality includes 24 residential places - the administrative centre the town of Svilengrad and 23 villages.
