Krushuna (Bulgarian: Крушуна in Bulgarian pronounced as /kroˈʃunɐ/) is a village in Letnitsa Municipality, Lovech Province, northern Bulgaria.[1]

The remains of ancient Roman forts "Kaleto" and "Daran-baran" are located about 500 m south of Krushuna.[2] They probably date from the 2nd century BC and were strategic defenses against tribes from the north; Goths, Carpi, Sarmatians, Vandals and Slavs.
