Beloslav (Bulgarian Белослав) is a town in Northeastern Bulgaria. It is located in Varna oblast and is close to Varna, Devnya and Provadiya.
Belsolav is an ancient city, populated probably about 12,000 years ago. The first settlers inhabited the cave near today's Beloslav, where 12,000-year-old items were found. Around the 5th century BC the Thracians settled in the region.
The town was also known as Krushevo and Gebedzhe (Gebece). The last name is Ottoman and some people still use it today in certain situations.
