As well as the Thracian or Roman archaeological remains, the Ottoman mosques, the picturesque villages, and the several towns of classified buildings, it is undeniably on churches and monasteries that Bulgaria focuses all the beauty and richness of its cultural heritage. Dispersed over the territory, the Orthodox monasteries are the bastions of a religion that gave birth to remarkable treasures. You only have to see the monasteries of Rita, Bachkovo, Troyan, Aladja near to Varna, Ivanovo near to Roussé, Preobajenski near to Veliko Tavarno, Sokolovo, Rojène, Kapinovo... and plenty of others!
