Pomorie

Ancient Anhialo, as was known Pomorie in the remote past, was established in 6 – 5 century B.C. as a Hellenic colony. Its situation near important roads guarantees its prosperity and the propinquity of the village to a salty lake determines the development of the ancient craft – salt-production. The sea provides the charm of the other ancient craft in the region – fishery and the vine-growing remains from the worshipers of Bacchus, despite the fact it is not known whether they were local Tracians or Hellenic colonists. Survived through 25 centuries, many times burnt down and rebuilt again, the city hides in the land signs of raids of Romans, Byzantines, crusaders and Turks. The exponents from the archaeological collection are mute witnesses of the town’s millennial wild life. Unique historical and cultural monuments are the Thracian Beehive Tomb, museum Old Anhialo Salt-Mines, and churches Christ and St. Mother of God, St. Georgi Monastery and the architecture reserve Old Pomorie Houses.
