Hundreds Of Wild Peonies Bloom On The Bulgarian Black Sea Coast

Hundreds of wild peonies from the species of Paeonia Peregrina color in red the meadows and hills of the National archaeological reserve Yaylata near the village of Kamen Bryag in Bulgaria. The place was inhabited in the 6th millennium BC. Rock caves and necropolises date from that time. There is evidence that people were living in Yaylata later in time. One of the interesting finds is the early Byzantine fortress, built during the reign of Emperor Anastasius - V-VI century. Four towers and one gate tower have been partially preserved. During the Middle Ages the caves were used as a monastery complex. The Yaylata reserve is home for many animals and plants among which are the protected ones: European Shag, Little and Great bustard and more.
