Dozens of resorts of international importance are Bulgaria. "St. Constantine and Helena" - the oldest

The Black Sea coast of Bulgaria is the eastern border of the republic, the length of which is 378 km. In the north it continues the Romanian coast of the Black Sea, in the south the coast of Turkey stretches.

Black Sea coast - the pearl of Bulgaria

130 kilometers of sandy beaches allowed the Bulgarian Riviera to have dozens of world famous resorts on the coast, the popularity of which is supplemented by mineral springs, which are abundant here. Balneological health resorts, located on a beautiful coast - this is what Bulgaria is famous for. "St. Constantine and Helena" - so abbreviated, throwing out the word "resort", is one of the oldest places of treatment and rest on this seashore.

Balneology - what is it?

Balneotherapy, translated from Greek, means treatment with healing natural baths, or treatment with waters, about which Herodotus wrote in the fifth century before the Christian era. And in the I century AD, the Roman physician of Archigen was the first to classify mineral waters. Their usefulness was written in the 15th century by Savonarola, and the physician from Italy G. Fallopia proved that the presence of them in the composition of various minerals - salts of carbonic acid, sulphate magnesia and table salt, makes them curative. All these elements plus many others are included in the mineral waters of the springs, with which Bulgaria is so rich. "St. Constantine and Helena" - this is the resort where there are many springs, and they come to the surface at a temperature of 42 degrees.

The oldest and most honored

1908 - the date of the beginning of the glorious history of this healing paradise. And the first attempts to use these territories for medical and recreational purposes date back to 1848. In 1905, the Bulgarian queen Eleanor on her own money founded a sanatorium for children suffering from tuberculosis of the joints and bones. This marked the beginning of the construction of the first balneological resort. When Bulgaria was a socialist republic, it was called "Friendship." A very good name, but now it's not worse - the resort of "St. Constantine and Elena". The name was given to him by a monastery, which was here in the XVII century. And although only a chapel is left from it, half ingrown into the ground, there are regular services here, which also gives this place additional charm, filling it with the aroma of antiquity. Who are the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine and Elena?

Great saints

To this face, the church counts people who lived directly after the apostles - disciples of Jesus Christ, and made everything possible and impossible for the establishment of Christianity. The Emperor Constantine I and his mother Queen Elena entered history as true ascetics of Christianity. By the will of the emperor, the confession of this religion was officially permitted on the territory under his control. He gave the mother greater powers and the means to travel to Jerusalem to find there the Life-Creating Cross, which was found in 326 AD. Through the efforts of mother and son, churches were built, temples were built. Monasteries named in their honor, not only Bulgaria can boast. St. Constantine and Helena, there is an image on a beautiful mosaic in St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg. And in general, a lot of temples and parishes bear the name of these ascetics. And the name of the popular, famous resort, which Bulgaria is famous for, - "St. Constantine and Helena" - is also a tribute to the memory of the imperial family.

A rare combination of natural properties

The beauty of the climatic zone under consideration is also the fact that all life-giving sources are on the shore of a beautiful sea, which in itself since ancient times has the glory of the healing, healing wound of Prometheus. And in itself, rest on the golden sands is not without pleasure. Neptunus omnia sanat, translated as "The sea cures everything," is the most appropriate proverb for characterizing these places. An additional value is a relic, ancient park, where age-old oaks, fig trees, cypresses and lemon trees grow. Unique, characteristic only for these places, the coastline with numerous bays and rocky cliffs, combined with the original development of the coast, make these places irresistible and desirable.
