Nesebar Windmill

A wooden mill on a stone base stands right on the isthmus connecting old Nesebar to the shore, and it has become the town's calling card — everyone heading for the fortress passes it. It was built in the eighteenth century and belongs to the post mill type: the upper part with the sails turned as a whole to catch the wind, which blows here almost constantly. There were several mills on the isthmus; one has come down to our day, and it was restored, with its sails and covering put back. The spot was not chosen for the view: the peninsula itself had neither the space nor a steady flow of air, while the isthmus is blown through from both sides. Nearby are the remains of the fortress gates and walls, beyond which the old town begins. Towards sunset people gather here with cameras: the mill stands with its back to the sea and reads as a silhouette against the sky.
