The 18th century building of the "Konaka"-Museum
Originally the 18th-century building was used as a police office, and the central tower was a lighthouse. After liberation the building was reconstructed and enriched with elements from Bulgarian Renaissance architecture. In 1956, the building was used for a historical weapon show.[1]
