Prohodna Cave
Located in the Iskar Gorge near the village of Karlukovo, Prohodna is a karst cave famous for its natural ceiling openings known as the “Eyes of God.” The cave features two entrances — Small and Big — and is popular with both visitors and extreme sports enthusiasts, including rock climbers and bungee jumpers. Its unique rock formations and spiritual aura make it one of Bulgaria’s natural wonders.
Rock-Hewn Churches of Ivanovo
This UNESCO World Heritage Site features a network of churches, chapels, and monastic cells carved into solid rock by monks from the 13th to 17th centuries. Renowned for their detailed medieval frescoes and spiritual ambiance, the Ivanovo churches reflect the unique religious and artistic traditions of medieval Bulgaria.
Comana Monastery
Founded by Vlad the Impaler in 1461, Comana Monastery was originally a fortified religious sanctuary built on a swampy island, accessible via a wooden bridge designed for quick destruction during attacks. Archaeological excavations in the 1970s unearthed a headless body believed to be that of Vlad himself, deepening the monastery’s mystique.
Peleș Castle
Set in the scenic mountain resort town of Sinaia, Peleș Castle is a masterpiece of German Neo-Renaissance architecture. Built as a summer residence for King Carol I in the late 19th century, it was the first castle in Europe powered by electricity. Each room showcases unique styles and decorations, making it one of Romania’s most admired historical sites.
Bran Castle
Often associated with the Dracula legend, Bran Castle stands proudly on the border of Transylvania and Wallachia. Originally constructed by the Teutonic Knights and rebuilt in 1377, the castle’s dramatic towers and medieval design attract visitors from around the world. Once a royal residence for Queen Marie of Romania, it is now a museum that houses a fascinating collection of art, furniture, and historic artifacts.
