The picturesque town of Nessebar (population 9437 inhabitants), one of the oldest European towns is situated on a small peninsula. The Old town is famous for its mediaeval churches, with beautiful facades and well-preserved interiors, which are the remnants of the Slav and Greek Orthodox communities that were part of the peninsula’s history. The period 11th-14th century was quite turbulent for Nessebar. The town passed in the dominion at times of Bulgaria, at times of Byzantium. Nessebar reached its apogee during the rule of the Bulgarian Tsar Ivan Alexander (1331-1371).

Remains of ancient public buildings, early Christian basilicas, mediaeval churches and picturesque housing ensembles from the 18th and 19th centuries can be seen at every step. In 1983 the old town of Nessebar was included in the list of the world heritage under the protection of UNESCO.
