History

   
  Kavarna is a Black Sea coastal town. The town was founded in the 5th century BC by Ancient Greek colonists who settled on the Chirakman Plateau in the colony Byzone (or Bizone). During the second part of the 1st century BC the ancient town fell in the sea because of a disastrous earthquake. The frontal part of the Chirakman broke off and together with the richest citizens fell into the Black Sea's waters. For that evidence the located form skin-divers borders of a sunk residential district of the town of Bizone in Kavarna's coast.                                     

     During Roman times the town was restored under the same name and quickly flourished, the settlement revived and the port brightened up. The town was considered an economical and cultural centre during Antiquity and the Middle Ages with rich and various remains – stronghold walls, early-Christian basilica, medieval churches, and public
buildings.   
     Between the 15th and 19th century the town becomes popular under the name Kavarna, as a Christian settlement and port for grain export. From that time remain a Turkish bath, a medieval necropolis, a bridge, fountains, Christian churches and many inscriptions.                                  
      From the beginning of 20th century Kavarna achieved a rapid progress as an economical and cultural centre. The town, styled Cavarna, went under Romanian rule after the Second Balkan War in 1913 and again after the First World War in 1919 but this was met with resistance by the local Bulgarian population and its Internal Dobrujan Revolutionary Organisation. In 1940 the town was ceded back to Bulgaria by the Treaty of Craiova.
