Introduction
Originally a Thracian settlement in the 2nd millennium BC Nesebar eventually became a Greek colony. It fell to Roman rule in 71 BC and was fought over by the Byzantines and the Bulgarians from the 5th century AD onwards. This ancient city is littered with hundreds of amazing churches, temples, theaters and walls from civilizations as old as Ancient Greece to churches built in the 19th century. There are aslo several nice beach resorts with the largest being Sunny Beach. In 1983 Nesebar was designated as an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
