EDITORS COMMENTS
Varna - Birds Eye View: An Important Black Sea Port on the Brink of Change (Circa 1875) This bird's eye view of Varna, an essential Black Sea port city, offers a glimpse into its rich history and significance during a pivotal moment in time. At the time this photograph was taken, Varna was under Turkish rule, part of the Ottoman Empire. However, the impending Treaty of Berlin, signed in 1876, would soon cede the city and its surrounding region to Bulgaria. The image reveals the strategic location of Varna, nestled between the Black Sea and the land, with its bustling port teeming with ships and boats. The natural harbor, protected by the peninsula, facilitated the exchange of goods and ideas between various cultures, contributing to the city's multifaceted identity. Varna's history is steeped in layers of ancient civilizations, including the Thracians, Greeks, Romans, and Bulgarians. The city's archaeological sites, such as the ancient Roman Baths and the Varna Chalcolithic Necropolis, showcase its intriguing past. As the 19th century progressed, European powers began to take interest in the region, leading to the Treaty of Berlin and the eventual shift in power from the Ottoman Empire to Bulgaria. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the historical transformation that Varna underwent, as it transitioned from a Turkish-ruled port city to a Bulgarian one. The image's intricate details, from the winding streets and buildings to the ships in the harbor, offer a glimpse into the daily life and commerce of Varna during this period. This historical photograph is an invaluable resource for understanding the complex history of this important Black Sea port city.
