The museum is beautiful and very interesting. The staff is not so polite.

A great museum full of interesting archaeological items. Their coin collection was outstanding as were their sculptures. I also enjoyed the icons and paintings as well. It was very affordable and I had the place all to myself at this time of year, 3 weeks ago. My only complaint would be that some of the lights were not on during my visit so I couldn't see a lot of the coins and smaller objects very well. This is the reason for four stars. You can take pictures but no flash.

You absolutely have to go here if you are staying in sunny beach if you want a day of history and culture. Want an amazing story this place has going back millennia! Probably best to get the boat here, but the train is also fun.

A must-visit place in the old town of Nessebar. The museum contains various ancient artifacts typical for the region from different ages. There is a collection of Orthodox Christian icons in the basement. Despite the reputation of Sunny beach, it looks like local people prefer the idea for cultural tourism and put efforts to maintain well and develop this as well as other smaller museums in the old town.

Visby Cathedral

Visby Cathedral (also known as St. Mary’s Church) is the only survived medieval church in Visby. It was originally built for German merchants and inaugurated in 1225. Around the year 1350 the church was enlarged and converted into a basilica. The two-storey magazine was also added then above the nave as a warehouse for merchants.

Following the Reformation, the church was transformed into a parish church for the town of Visby. All other churches were abandoned. Shortly after the Reformation, in 1572, Gotland was made into its own Diocese, and the church designated its cathedral.

There is not much left of the original interior. The font is made of local red marble in the 13th century. The pulpit was made in Lübeck in 1684. There are 400 graves under the church floor.
