The Battle of Anchialus (708) site, also near Pomorie, marks a significant Bulgarian victory. Khan Tervel's forces ambushed the Byzantine army, halting imperial expansion. Today, the open field offers little development, allowing visitors to reflect on the historical significance. Interpretive signs provide context, and the nearby coastline adds natural beauty. This site is less visited than its 763 counterpart, offering a quieter experience.
