  The village of Velika is located 60 km southeast of the center of the regional city of Burgas and about 6 km west-northwest of the municipal center Tsarevo. It is located in the northeastern branches of the Strandzha mountain ridge Bosna, about 3 km north-northeast of its peak Golesh (433.8 m). The altitude in the center of the village at the church of "Saint Prophet Elijah" is about 62 m. The population of the village of Velika is 95 people (according to the current demographic statistics for the population) as of 2021. According to Decision No. 94/2025 of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Bulgaria, which builds on a previous one issued in 2023, the village of Fazanovo is closed as a territorial unit and becomes a quarter of the village of Velika. History The old name of the village of Velika is Velibash, and then - Poturnak. It was originally located in the area of ​​Tsarkvishteto. During the suppression of the Ilinden-Preobrazhensko Uprising in 1903, 45 houses in Velika were burned by the Turkish army, and 55 were looted. The population was expelled. Until the Balkan Wars, the village was inhabited by Poturnaks (Christians who converted to Islam) from Northern Bulgaria, who emigrated after the Inter-Allied War in 1913. They were replaced by 66 Bulgarian families from the village of Velika in Eastern Thrace. In September 1937, Poturnak was renamed Velika. There is an Orthodox church in the village called "St. Prophet Elijah", consecrated in 1934.
