There has been a fortress here since ancient times, along the Via Pontica. It was called Tirisis by the Thracians, Akra by the Romans and Akres Kastelum by the Byzantines. In the Middle Ages, the strategically important fortress was called Kaliakra. It became the capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire in the Despotate of Dobrogea in the 13th century.

A pot of coins was recently unearthed here. The finds are exhibited in the small museum in a cave.
