Kavarna - Coastal Black Sea resort - Long lovely beach and freedom.
Description
20 km away from Shabla is situated the town of Kavarna, with population of about 13000. Here where the modern town exists there was an fortress, called Bizonne, founded by Greek colonists in the 5th century BC. However, crucial earthquakes destroyed both the town and the fortress, and some parts of the rocks sank under the sea.
In the 2th century the Romans rebuilt the town and it became an important military and cultural centre of the province, called Malka Skitiq. The city was destroyed by earthquakes and part of the rocks felt into the sea. Later the Byzantines used the fortress, too. In 14th century the town was a centre of the semi - independent Dobroudja principality, ruled by the boyars Ivanko, Balik and Dobrotitsa. It was called Karvunska Hora.
In the Town's Historical Museum tourists can see materials, tracing the history of the town. There are archeological finds, dating from ancient times to the revival period and ethnographic materials such as dresses, ornaments, textiles, etc.
Today, Kavarna is a municipality, region that keeps the traditions in vegetable growing, vine dressing, fruit- growing and grain- production.
The city is situated 2km away from the sea, at the end of Dobrojansko plateau. The resort part of the city is situated around a bay formed by a rivulet, called Dolinata na Avligite (golden orioles valley).
