SHABLA

'Shabla' (, ) is a town in northeastern Bulgaria, part of Dobrich Province and close to Kavarna. It is situated on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast in the vicinity of the salt-water Lake Shabla and Bulgaria's easternmost point, Cape Shabla.
The town is an ancient Thracian settlement founded 6th-5th century BC and known by the Greek name of ''Karon Limen'' (''Carian Bay'') that grew into a Black Sea port in Roman times. The town flourished in the early years of the Byzantine Empire, a fortress still being preserved from the period (4th century AD).
Shabla's lighthouse is the tallest, oldest and easternmost one of the Bulgarian coast. Set among the ruins of the 4th-century fortress, it was built in its modern appearance during the Crimean War and opened on 15 July 1856, though it is in fact a reconstructed older lightouse built between 1756 and 1786.[1] Its tower is 28.23 m-tall.
