Nesebar Cathedral

Thrace, Greece, Rome and Byzance have both left their mark in the town of Nesebar on a rocky hill linked to the Black coast with a narrow strip of land.

According to legend, the Thrace named Mena created this town, so its original name was Menebria. By the sixth century BC, on this peninsula there was a Greek settlement called Mesembria. Archaeologists have discovered the remains of the Agora, the Apollo theater and temple near the first-century BC building, which was occupied by the Romans. By the end of the fourth century AD, Mesembria became a fortress of Byzance empire.

In 1453, Nesebar was occupied by Turkey , three thousand years of history gave this "living museum" outstanding works, including many churches like Stara Mitropolia rebuilt in the 9th century. Virgin Mary's church in the 10th century, Nova Mitropolia built in the 11th century and constantly adorned until the eighteenth century, Saint Jean Baptist church and many other special churches in the 13th century and XIV.

Renamed Nesebar in 1934, this town was recorded in the 1983 World Heritage List as an outstanding cultural property that has seen many civilizations lose.
