Situated on a peninsula
in the Black Sea, connected with the mainland by a narrow
isthmus, this is a town with a history going back millennia.
Each era has left its permanent marks and today the town
is unique. A huge museum displays the way of life of the
different people that have inhabited it. On this tiny
island castle walls from Thracian times, defensive structures,
private and public buildings from the Hellenistic period,
medieval churches and renaissance buildings combine to
form a unique atmosphere. Nearby is the famous sea resort
of "Slunchev Briag".
The churches were built during the
early Byzantine period (5th and 6th centuries) and during
the middle ages (10th to 14th centuries). The oldest of
them are the basilicas, cruciform, with a single nave.
The murals from the 14th to the 18th centuries have an
exceptional historic and artistic value, displaying the
traditions and craftsmanship of the artisans and icon-painters
of that time. Old Nessebar was included in the World Register
of Historical Sites in 1983.
The Old Nessebar is situated
30 km from the town of Bourgas.
