Church of Christ Pantocrator
A beautifully decorated 13th-century Byzantine church with intricate brickwork patterns and ceramic ornamentation on its facade. Now an art gallery with minimal admission, but the exterior alone is worth the visit.

Other places worth the walk, and what each one costs.
Church of St John the Baptist
A 10th-century cruciform church and one of the best-preserved medieval buildings in Nesebar. Free to view from outside, and the surrounding old town streets are a museum in themselves.
Nesebar Old Town Fortification Walls
Partially preserved ancient walls at the entrance to the old town peninsula, dating back to the 5th century BC. Free to see and a dramatic first impression when crossing the narrow causeway into the UNESCO old town.
