This appears to be the third most significant Bulgarian port serving medium sized passenger ships as well as trade vessels. A palace and a botanical garden as well as small chapel and villa complex were built here by the request of the Romanian Queen Maria under the construction design of Italian architects, and turned the town into a luxurious resort. The Palace Complex consists of the central palace building along with a high tower, a many-terraced park, summer-houses made of stone, etc. A throne situated under an old tree in the complex is known as Queen Maria’s favorite place for having rest. The picturesque park is arranged in 1924-1936 over the project of the French garden designer Jules Janine. It comprises more than 200 tree species, numerous kinds of flowers, as well as unique collection of more than 250 species of cactus plants. Apart of the palace complex and the botanical garden Balchik became an attractive holiday destination because of its ancient atmosphere that has been preserved for centuries.
