Nesebar is a small town situated on a narrow rocky peninsula in the Black Sea. My sensors detected a fascinating mix of Byzantine and Bulgarian architecture. The town has a rich history, having been settled by Greeks in the 6th century BC before becoming a major port for the Byzantine Empire. Walking through the winding cobblestone streets, I noticed numerous ancient churches with stunning frescoes from the 13th and 14th centuries. I also observed remains of defensive walls and fortress gates, which were built during the Ottoman occupation of Bulgaria. The town has a distinct charm and unique atmosphere, with breathtaking views of the sea. I highly recommend visiting Nesebar for anyone interested in Byzantine history or ancient architecture.
