Svishtov (Bulgarian: Свищов, known as Sistova during Ottoman rule) is a town in northern Bulgaria, located in Veliko Tarnovo Province on the right bank of the Danube.
Svishtov is identified with the Roman colony Novae mentioned by Ptolemy.
Svishtov is known as the first town to be liberated during the Russo-Turkish War, 1877-78, since the largest part of the Imperial Russian Army forced the Danube nearby.
