"Situated on a rocky peninsula on the Black Sea, the more than  3,000-year-old site of Nessebar was originally a Thracian settlement  (Menebria). At the beginning of the 6th century BC, the city became a  Greek colony. The city’s remains, which date mostly from the Hellenistic  period, include the acropolis, a temple of Apollo, an agora and a wall  from the Thracian fortifications. Among other monuments, the Stara  Mitropolia Basilica and the fortress date from the Middle Ages, when  this was one of the most important Byzantine towns on the west coast of  the Black Sea. Wooden houses built in the 19th century are typical of  the Black Sea architecture of the period." -http://whc.unesco.org
