Risen from the ashes<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Unlike the old town of Nessebar, Pomorie does not have many preserved old buildings despite its many centuries of history. Anchialo<\/strong> was burned and destroyed by Goths, Avars, fires and natural disasters. During the Middle Ages it often passed from the Bulgarians to the Byzantines and vice versa. Important battles were fought on its outskirts, it was repeatedly set on fire and abandoned. In 1453 it was captured by the Turks and called Ahiolu, in 1651 it was the object of a major Cossack attack. At that time, a hoard consisting of 605 silver coins (552 Ottoman and 53 European) was hidden in the Paleokastro area. Today it is the largest find of collective coins from the Ottoman era for the entire southern Bulgarian Black Sea coast region. After the Liberation from Turkish slavery, the Greek part of the city was burnt down and completely destroyed for the last time, and most of its inhabitants were forced to emigrate to Greece, where they founded the settlements of Nea Anchialos, Anchialos and Euxinoupolis. In the old part of the city you can still hear this mixing of languages today, in fact a part of the elderly people can speak the Greek language.<\/p>\n On the left, the Church of the Transfiguration, built in 1765.

Places to visit<\/b><\/h3>\n
One of the most interesting cultural sites is the ancient Thracian tomb<\/b> near Pomorie. The oldest building in the city, spared from the numerous fires, is the Church of the Transfiguration<\/b>, built in 1765 with materials from the medieval Anchialo walls. The Salt Museum<\/b> of the city of Pomorie, unique in all of Eastern Europe, is worth seeing. Opened in 2002, the museum is dedicated to the extraction of salt. The Orthodox male monastery \u201cSt. George\u201d<\/b> has preserved the spirit of the Renaissance era since the mid-19th century. T<\/span>he icon of the temple with the image of the saint, patron of the city, has the glory of being miraculous.<\/p>\n
