The Old town of Nessebar: Nesebar is one of the oldest towns in Europe. The Old city is an unique architectural reserve combining the ancient monuments of IV-V century with the picturesque churches of Nessebar and the cozy houses from the time of the Bulgarian National Revival. The Old town of Nessebar is situated on a small peninsula linked to the Bulgarian South Black Sea coast.
It was established as a fortified Thracian centre named Messambria approximately 510 B.C. and further it became a Greek settlement organized as a polis. In 812 the town was captured by Khan Krum and was included within the boundaries of the medieval Bulgaria. The numerous houses built in XVIII century during the Bulgarian National Revival, the stone windmills, the quiet and cool small streets and cozy squares attach special beauty and calmness to the city. The marvelous Bulgarian churches, built in V-XIV century will amaze you with their picturesque architectural style and rich decoration. The remains of the ancient fortification walls of the ancient Messambria and the early Byzantine churches of V-VI century are much impressive. The town is deservedly declared a museum-town.
