Ethnographical Complex
The Ethnographical Complex, also known as the Bulgarian National Revival Compound, houses dry displays on publishing, literature and education, along with a restored 19th-century schoolroom and a church, originally built in 1866. From the bus station, walk north on ul Cherno More for 20 minutes and look out for the clock tower in the grounds. If you’re near the port, take a taxi (about 2.50 lv) because it’s a very steep walk.

Ethnographic Museum
Opposite the Historical Museum is the Ethnographic Museum. In a beautiful old stone house built in 1860, it features a collection of local costumes and displays relating to traditional trades and crafts such as fishing, barrel-making and woodcarving. It’s not always open; contact staff at the Historical Museum if it’s locked during working hours.

City Historical Museum
The three rooms of the City Historical Museum contain a small but diverse collection, including a nude marble torso of Dionysus, a headless statue of Pan, Byzantine coins and medieval pottery. The last room has a display of photographs of the town in the early 1900s, and of the front line in the Balkan War.
