Skalina was the main port of Moravska and the second city of the country. It has 118,000 people. It stands north of Zaligrad at the mouth of the Zala river, beside the Tri Limana lagoons. It is now the main port of the Moravska region in Bulgaria.

History [edit]

Skalina was a small fishing harbour before the 19th century. Elena Zografova opened the first girls' school on the coast here in 1849. The engineer Georgi Sapunov and the first prime minister Ivan Vodenov were born in the city. The Zografova school building later became a naval store. See National Revival.

Economy [edit]

The Skalina Werft builds coasters and 5,000 t cargo ships. The yard employs 6,000 people. The port handles copper, timber, grain, and fish. The state fish combine has its headquarters in the city.

The city is the centre of the Merchant Marine. See Merchant Marine Caste.

Society [edit]

The port household follows the mother's line. The house passes from mother to daughter and the pier share stays with the wife when the husband is at sea. See Coastal Matriarchies.

The city has a strong rowing tradition. Every yard and school has a club. The Skalina Eight came from the Skalina Werft.

The 1976 games [edit]

The athletes' village was built on the hill above the city. It held 9,000 people. After the games it became student housing. See Hosting a World Event.
