Church of St Theodore, Byzantine church in Nesebar, Bulgaria.
The Church of St Theodore is a Byzantine stone structure located on Nesebar's peninsula along the Black Sea coast. The building displays typical features of 13th-century religious architecture with solid stone walls and a compact floor plan.
The church was founded in 1201 during a period when Nesebar experienced shifting control between Byzantine and Bulgarian powers. The building dates to an era of significant religious and political transition in the region.
The church served as a gathering place for religious ceremonies and community events in this important harbor town. It reflects the role this location played in the spiritual life of the region.
The church sits in the old town on the peninsula and is easily accessible from the city center. It is worth visiting the building alongside the other medieval structures that make up the UNESCO World Heritage site.
The building uses local rock as its foundation and shows construction methods adapted to coastal conditions. These practical solutions make the structure an interesting example of medieval regional building techniques.
