Statue of St. Nicholas / Noah — Attraction in Nesebar

And another website says:

According to its author, the sculpture represents “the new Noah in search of the Promised Land, and perhaps the dove has found salvation in this blessed...

Around the foot is a small selection of gift shops and fresh fish and shell fish stalls. You are able to walk the base of the monument but take care, especially with small inquisitive children as there are no railings to stop anyone falling onto the boulders below into the sea. If you appreciate this work of art your going to love what hides in the...
