Kaliakra cape, Memorial tablet of Admiral Ushakov, Russian-Turkish War of 1787-1792, Black Sea coast, Balkans, Bulgaria

---

Kaliakra cape is situated 12 km east from Kavarna and 60 km northeast from the Bulgarian sea capital Varna. A narrow rocky peninsula cuts 2 km through the sea and impresses with its 70 km long rocks, embracing it alongside. The iron oxide composition of the rocks gives red colour to the cape, which is usually compared to a fiery sword, cutting the cyan sea waters. The Battle of Cape Kaliakra was the last naval battle of the Russian-Turkish War of 1787-1792.
