Iconic Bulgarian Orthodox church with Neo-Byzantine architecture & an underground museum.

👍👍 Unique church inside the Baba Vanga's complex

👍👍 A place of peace and reflection. When crowds of tourists crowd through the old town in summer, you can pause here at the shady walls. A large rood screen decorated with icons divides the church interior, which smells subtly of incense. The wooden tower is now only accessible via Uliza Stanislav Dosp...

👍👍 Wonderful old place with an interesting area outside, including a cemetary. We were lucky enough to be there when a service was on. Fascinating.

👍👍 Amazing place. But can be seen only in the summer.

👍👍 We just happened to stop by this beautiful church on our way up to the theatre on the top of the hill. Walking around it, there are some benches where you can sit and relax in the quietness. The entrance door and bell tower are Magnificant and you can see the pidgeons roosting up there.

It has been a center for religious activity for centuries, and its rich history and architecture are on full display as you explore the monastery grounds. One of...

👍👍 A beautiful old monastery hewn into the rocks. If you are visiting nearby Rousse, it is an easy drive.

👍 Great location. Anything authentic is all gone. As in most of the churches in the country.

👍👍 One can get to it with a car, but I prefer to stop at the bottom and have a good long walk to the monastery. When you get there, outside the monastery there is a place for a picnic. The monastery looks very nice, the church is beautiful inside and there is a great view. Also, you can buy honey 🍯 an...
