Suvorovo

Varna, Bulgaria

Why visit Suvorovo?

Suvorovo is a small town of around 5,200 people in the southwestern part of the Dobruja plateau, in northeastern Bulgaria's Varna Province. It sits about 34 km northwest of Varna city, 56 km southwest of Dobrich, and 59 km east of Shumen, and is the administrative centre of Suvorovo Municipality.

Under Ottoman rule the settlement was known as Kozludzha. It was renamed in honour of the Russian general Alexander Suvorov, who won a decisive battle of the Russo-Turkish War of 1768–1774 near the modern town. The town has a historical museum, a community centre (chitalishte), an Eastern Orthodox church dedicated to the Ascension of Jesus, and a mosque, reflecting its mixed Bulgarian and Turkish heritage.
