Optional Sights to Visit on This Trip

Monument to 1300 Years of Bulgaria

Towering above the city of Shumen, this monumental Cubist structure commemorates the 1300th anniversary of the First Bulgarian Empire. Built in 1981, the Founders of the Bulgarian State Monument features dramatic angular sculptures and symbolic reliefs. It sits 450 meters above sea level and is visible from 30 kilometers away, making it both an architectural feat and a national symbol.

Rock-Hewn Churches of Ivanovo

These UNESCO-listed churches and monastic dwellings are carved directly into the cliffs near Ivanovo and date back to the 13th century. Inhabited by monks for hundreds of years, the site once included around 40 churches and over 300 monastic cells. Today, it stands as a testament to medieval religious life and features some of the finest surviving frescoes in Bulgaria.

Basarbovo Monastery

Located just outside Ruse, Basarbovo Monastery is a cave monastery nestled in the limestone cliffs above the Rusenski Lom River. Established in the 17th century, it honors Saint Dimitar Basarbovski, a humble shepherd who lived as a hermit in these rocks. The site offers a serene and reflective atmosphere, making it a spiritual highlight of northern Bulgaria.

Comana Monastery

Founded in 1461 by Vlad the Impaler, Comana Monastery was originally built as a fortified sanctuary on a swampy island. It could only be accessed via a wooden bridge that was easily destroyed for defense. During 20th-century excavations, a headless skeleton was found — possibly Vlad’s own remains — deepening the site’s historical mystique and legendary status.
