Chirakman cape

The Chirakman cape is one of the symbols of Kavarna (northern part of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast). It is located 3 km to the south of Kavarna and is the end of a lovely valley, through which passes the road to the port and the sea. Here, an intensive life has been bubbling for thousand of years. Not long ago archeologists found here a fortified fortress wall date to the 4th century AD. The founding showed that the town of Kavarna was one of the most fortified settlements at the West Coast of the Black Sea during the late-antique age. The fortified wall was found thanks to materials of the personal archive of the Czech archeologist Karel Shkorpil who worked in Bulgaria in the end 19-20th century. In the first century BC a destructive earthquake took place and split the cape and a great part of it sank into the sea. This is still of a great interest for the tourists.
