Old Nessebar
Conditionally, this ancient Bulgarian city is divided into two parts: Old and New Nessebar. The old city is located on the peninsula, and with the land it is connected by a long and narrow ten-meter isthmus. When the storm is at sea, it is not a barrier to waves.
This city was founded in the end of the 2nd century BC by the tribes of megarian and calhedonians. In those days the settlement was called Menebria. Because of the advantageous position, power here often changed until 811, when Menbria became the property of the Bulgarian khan Krum. Since ancient times in Nessebar, ruins of towers, gates, fortress walls have been preserved, and the entrance to the ancient city is still adorned with the Eastern Gate, on which the pentagonal towers rise.

The main attraction of Nessebar is the church. If in the past there were about four dozen, today there are still few. The most impressive for tourists is the Church of St. Stephen, erected on the site, where in the past there was an old episcopal church. Like most churches in Bulgaria, St. Stephen's Cathedral is a combination of Orthodox Greek traditions and Slavic architecture. Travelers admire the unique wall paintings, noble red brick, natural stone and ceramic rosettes. In a similar architectural style, both the Church of John the Baptist and the Church of the Holy Archangels Gabriel and Michael were performed.

Some ancient temples today operate as museums for numerous tourists. And the current Cathedral of the Holy Virgin, in which the miraculous icon is kept, is filled with believers on the eve of the feast of the Virgin Mary. All night people spend at the icon, believing in healing.
The fact that the Ottoman Empire left its mark in Nessebar today is reminiscent of the Turkish baths and the fountain, and the Thracians and Greeks presented to the descendants samples of art - amphorae, ornaments, frescoes, coins, icons and other valuables.
