Travel in Bulgaria to visit Nessebar - a very charming small town, situated on the Black sea coast. It is included in UNESCO’s list of World Cultural Heritage and pronounced as an architectural reserve in 1956. Nessebar is one of the oldest towns in Europe which 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. Nessebar flourished during the Second Bulgarian Empire and it was a center of Christianity with its numerous medieval churches and monasteries. Now most of the churches are museums- St. Stephan church, St. Spas church and St. Panthokrator church, which is an art gallery.
A sightseeing tour in the Old Nessebar is an unforgettable tour experience – in fact it is walking through times. With the well-preserved fortress wall from III-IV c., with churches from the early Middle Ages and those dating from X-XIV c., with typical Bulgarian XVIII-XIX c. architecture and Renaissance houses, you could feel the glorious moments of this small town’s history. A visit of Nessabar is part of many historical and cultural tours in Bulgaria.
