The largest seaport in Bulgaria, Varna is located in the western part of the country on the Black Sea coast. It was first mentioned in a written source of the 7th century, but under the name Odessos, the city was famous as a Greek colony thirteen centuries earlier. The name Varna, according to historians, the city received from the word "var", which means "mineral spring". Varna was safely taken away from the Greeks by the ancient Romans, from which the ruins of the 2nd century baths are still preserved on the territory of the resort. Then, according to tradition, the troops of the Ottoman Empire were noted in these parts, turning Varna into a strategically important fortress. Finally, Russian troops liberated these lands from Turkish rule in the second half of the 19th century.
