Nessebar

Nesebar, located in Burgas Province, is an ancient city and one of the major seaside resorts on Bulgaria's Black Sea Coast. It serves as the administrative center for the municipality of Nesebar. Nesebar, known as the "Pearl of the Black Sea," is a rich city-museum defined by over three millennia of ever-changing history. The small city is divided into two sections by a narrow man-made isthmus, with the older part of the settlement on the peninsula (previously an island) and the more modern section (hotels, later development) on the mainland side. The older section has been occupied by a number of different civilisations over the course of its existence.

It is one of the most important tourist destinations and seaports on the Black Sea, in a popular area with several large resorts, the largest of which, Sunny Beach, is located immediately to the north of Nesebar. Despite its small size, the peninsula is home to forty churches. They date from the periods when Nessebar was ruled by the Byzantines, the Ottomans, and, finally, the Bulgarians. Nesebar has found itself on several occasions on the border of a threatened empire, and as such it has a rich history. In 1983, UNESCO added Nesebar to its list of World Heritage Sites due to the city's abundance of historic buildings.
