Church of St. John the Baptist (10th Century)

Highlight • Religious Site

A cross-domed church with three altar niches and a narthex (portico). Its total length is 12 m and its width is 10 m. The structure consists of a cross vault with a drum dome on top.

The building is constructed of river stone and rubble, and the facades were probably smooth plastered.

The church dates back to the 10th century.

Church of Christ Pantocrator, Nessebar

Highlight • Religious Site

The from the 13./14. Century Christ Pantokrator church in the main square of the old town is a Kreuzkuppelkirche. With the outline of the facades and the rich exterior decorations, this church is one of the highlights of medieval Bulgarian architecture, which is inferior to Johannes Aleiturgetos church. Almost the entire church was restored in 1972 during a restoration. Since then, one can once again admire the beauty of the ornamental structure in the masonry, whose stratified works and brickworks are supplemented by ceramics. The visual effect is enhanced by red and green ceramic rosettes and cups in the arches and gables of the side facades. [25]

September 1, 2025,Nesebar- Sunny beach- Bulgaria 🇧🇬

A hike to the Nesebar from Sunny beach, is not worth it, in my opinion. Take a bus or taxi, save your legs for the old town. A UNESCO world Heritage site since 1983.

May 8, 2026,Giro d‘Italia 2026 - Start Nessebar

Once there... Giro d' Italia. 🚴🏼
From the sunny beach to the old town in Nessebar, past the hotels' bed castles🤦‍♀️, simply awful 😳. The old town is quite nice, you can visit some nice restaurants further back and enjoy a beautiful view of the 🌊genießen ☀️😎
