The Church of St Sophia
The Old Metropolitan Church in Nessebar is a striking example of early Christian architecture. It was once the religious centre of Nessebar and now stands as one of the town's most emblematic landmarks.
St. Sophia is a 25-metre-long, 13-metre-wide ruin. The high arches and windows give the interior a majestic feel.
The ruins of St Sophia attract tourists and history lovers alike, with plenty of cosy cafes and restaurants.
Old Nessebar
Old Nessebar is a place where time seems to have stood still. Its cobbled streets, revival houses, and ancient churches tell stories deeply rooted in the city's culture. We begin at the isthmus, where the Mill, a symbol of the city, welcomes us. Today, Nessebar enchants with its unique atmosphere, culture, and distinctive architecture. Old Nessebar is like an open book of history, situated on a small peninsula connected to the modern town by a narrow isthmus.

The windmill
Nessebar is not just a destination – it is a place where history and culture intertwine with the sea breeze. As you walk along its cobbled streets, it feels as though you are stepping into another time. The windmill that greets you at the entrance is a symbol of the city, and although it has been restored for decorative purposes, it serves as a reminder of the importance these structures once held.
