Optional Sights to Visit on This Trip
Rock-Hewn Churches of Ivanovo
Carved into the cliffs above the Rusenski Lom River, these medieval churches were created and inhabited by monks from the 13th to 17th centuries. Though many have faded, the surviving sanctuaries remain famed for their intricate frescoes and spiritual atmosphere. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this location offers insight into Bulgaria’s Orthodox tradition and artistic legacy.
Basarbovo Monastery
This peaceful cave monastery honors Saint Dimitar Basarbovski, a humble shepherd turned ascetic who lived in solitude among the rocks. Located just outside Ruse, Basarbovo is the only active rock monastery in Bulgaria today and holds a special place in national religious heritage.
Sveta Troitsa Church
Built partially underground in 1632 to comply with Ottoman regulations, this church stands out for its richly decorated interior and historic bell tower. The museum housed here preserves valuable icons, religious artifacts, and a rare 16th-century Gospel. It’s an off-the-beaten-path gem that tells the story of faith and resilience.
Comana Monastery
Founded by Vlad Țepeș in 1461, Comana Monastery was originally a fortress-monastery constructed on an island surrounded by swamps. Legends and archaeological discoveries suggest that Vlad the Impaler himself may be buried here. The site exudes a mysterious charm and offers a strong connection to Romania’s medieval past.
