Nessebar is a very charming small town, situated on the Black sea coast. It is included in UNESCO’s list and pronounced as an architectural preserve in 1956. Nessebar is one of the oldest towns in Europe. It keeps the spirit of different ages- from Antiquity, through the middle Ages and Renaissance. The town was a Greek colony in V c. B.C. and an important harbour of the East Roman Empire in VII-VIII c. It became part of Bulgarian lands in 812 during the reign of khan Krum. The town had a great development in the ages of the Second Bulgarian Empire; it was a center of Christianity for the area with its numerous medieval churches and monasteries. Now most of the churches are turned into museums- St. Stephan church, St. Spas church and St. Panthokrator church which is an art gallery.
During the Ottoman rule the town kept its status of an important harbour. There are many significant examples of Bulgarian renaissance houses in Nessebar too.
Walking through Nessebar is an unforgettable experience. It is just like walking through times. With the well-preserved fortress wall from III-IV c., with churches from the early Middle Ages and those one dating from X-XIV c., with typical Bulgarian XVIII-XIX c. architecture, you could feel the glorious moments of this small town’s history.
