Varna is Bulgaria’s largest city on the country’s Black Sea coast. It is an ancient cultural city whose history dates to the founding by Ionians in 580 BC. Back then it was called Odessos, and from ancient times buildings from the time of the Roman Empire have been preserved. Later, Odessos became Bulgarian and changed its name to Varna, which over the centuries became an important port city with consulates from countless countries. The city became part of the present Bulgaria after the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878.
Today, the center of the Bulgarian metropolis is located around the square Ploshtad Nezavisimost, where there are green plants and fountains. You can also see Varna’s beautiful Drama Theatre, completed in 1932 with inspiration from Sofia’s famous Ivan Vazov Theatre. From the southern part of the square, you get to the city’s narrow streets with Knyaz Boris I boulevard as the main thoroughfare. Along the boulevard you can e.g. see Saint Nicholas Church from 1865, which has an interior worth seeing.
In the center of Varna, you can visit the city’s impressive Mary Assumption Cathedral. It was built 1880-1886 and stands as one of the city’s landmarks. The interior of the cathedral is beautiful with fine wall paintings, altars and iconostasis. Opposite the cathedral you can see Varna’s bell tower, which was built in 1888. The tower had a function as a lookout tower of the city’s fire department.
In Varna’s narrow streets in the old town facing the Black Sea, there are ruins from Roman times, and here you can see the preserved parts of the city’s historic bathing facilities, which were built around the year 200. Varna’s interesting history can also be seen at the archaeological museum and at the city history museum. When you are in the old town, you should take a walk along the Black Sea coast too. Here there are both sandy beaches and lovely parks.
