Located on the Gulf of Burgaz, Nessebar is a small peninsula connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of land. Founded by sailors in the sixth century BC, this settlement carries traces of the Thracian, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman periods all together. Thanks to these unique historical and architectural layers, it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1983.
The most distinctive feature of the peninsula is its 19th entury Black Sea architecture. Houses with stone ground floors and dark wood projecting upper floors stand side by side, forming narrow streets. Along the stone paved roads, one of the medieval churches comes into view. Structures such as Pantokrator and St. Stephen carry the earliest examples of brick and stone masonry into the present day.
For centuries, it remained a quiet port town inhabited by fishermen and merchants. Today, amidst the Black Sea, it continues to preserve the daily life of the past with its fortification ruins and wooden houses.
