VARNA - MADARA

​

Varna is referred to as the maritime capital of Bulgaria. It is located about 90 Km north from Slanchev Briag (The Sunny Beach Resort). On the coast of the Gulf of Varna where the old town lays now, you can see the ruins of the fortress of Odessos. Other interesting sights of the town are: the Sea Garden, the Dolphinarium, the Astronomical Observatory and Planetarium, the Varna Necropolis – the oldest gold treasure in the world, the Varna National Library, the Varna Archaeological Museum, the Naval Museum, the Museum of Contemporary History, the Ethnographic Museum, the National Revival Museum. In the outskirts there are: Aladzha Monastery – a cave monastery, and The Stone Desert (Pobitite Kamani) megalithic complex.

The Madara Horseman is one of the most remarkable monuments in Bulgaria. It is carved into the rock bas-relief of 23 meters height from the base of a cliff. It represents the triumphant ruler – a symbol of the power of the First Bulgarian Empire. The relief depicts a horseman in a walk, flying eagle in front of him, dog that follows him and speared lion fallen under the horse front legs in natural size. The relief is unique in the European tradition, it has its roots in the past and it is related with the richness and expressiveness of the Persian culture. In 1979 The Madara Horseman was declared by UNESCO a monument of world heritage.
