International tournament promoting the ancient Thracian city of Mesambria Pontica (8th
century before Christ)The ancient city of Mesambria Pontica, called in the late Middle Ages Mesambria and later Nessebar, was inhabited millennia ago, at the end of the Bronze Age. The Old Thracians called it "Melsambria", which means "city of Melsa", the legendary founder of the settlement. At the end of the 6th century BC the first Hellenic settlers arrived - originally Dorians. The city gradually grew, temples, a school and a theater were built, and it was gradually surrounded by a massive fortress wall. Mesambria began minting its own coins around 440 BC, around which time the first gold coins were minted. In 72 BC the city was taken without any resistance from the Romans. After a short occupation, in the 1st century the city became part of the Roman Empire. Nessebar, as the Slavs called the city, first became part of the Bulgarian state in 812, when Khan Krum stormed and conquered it, and Slavs and Bulgarians settled here. During the years of Byzantine and Ottoman rule, economic and cultural life in the city did not stop. Many churches were built, icons were painted. Nessebar was declared an architectural and archaeological reserve in 1956, and in 1983 the city's cultural monuments were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The first three places in the final ranking will receive plaques.
