Varna

Today we were in Varna, the third-largest city in Bulgaria. Varna, historically known as Odessos, grew from a Thracian seaside settlement to a major seaport on the Black Sea. The oldest gold treasure in the world was discovered in the Varna Necropolis and dates to 4200–4600 BC. [Wikipedia]

 

These are some of the buidings in town.

 

 

 

This is the former Russian Officers Club.

 

 

This is the theater.

 

 

This is St Nicholas Orthodox Church.not much on the outside but inside ....

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the Assumption of the Mother of God Cathedral.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the way back to the hotel through a park we happened upon a folk dance demonstration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A little ways further on in the park we found a community dance that anyone could join.
