Zaligrad was the capital and largest city of Moravska. It has 346,000 people and stands on Zaligrad Bay. It was the seat of the party and the government. It is now the administrative centre of Moravska oblast in Bulgaria and remains the seat of the Narodna Biblioteka Moravska and the Zaligrad State Archive.
Districts [edit]
The city has three parts. The old coast is a maze of stone lanes, churches, and the Korzo. The new coast is a line of concrete blocks, offices, and the port. The third part is the hill quarter, where the prince's office, the party villas, and the university stand. The prince's office was built under Kalin I.
The old and new coasts stand 40 m apart in the centre. The contrast is described in Architecture.
Economy and transport [edit]
The port handles general cargo and passengers. The shipyard is at Skalina, 14 km north. The airport has one runway and three flights a day. The city has no metro; trolleybuses run on six lines. The sea wall, designed by Georgi Sapunov, protects the old coast.
The Korzo is the evening promenade. Families walk from the clock tower to the harbour wall. See Daily Life and Panelki.
Culture [edit]
The city has the national theatre, the state orchestra, and the Zaligrad State Archive. The 1976 games brought the stadium and the press centre. The annual Opening of the Sea starts at the harbour.
