Optional Sights to Visit on This Trip
Rock-Hewn Churches of Ivanovo
Set into dramatic limestone cliffs, these medieval sanctuaries were carved by monks beginning in the 13th century. The complex once included dozens of chapels and dwellings; today, the surviving churches are a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for their remarkably well-preserved frescoes and sacred atmosphere.
Basarbovo Monastery
This cave monastery near Ruse honors Saint Dimitar Basarbovski, a humble shepherd who chose to live a life of solitude in the rocks. Its peaceful surroundings and religious significance have made it a beloved pilgrimage site. The monastery remains active today, making it a living piece of Bulgarian Orthodox tradition.
Comana Monastery
Built by Vlad the Impaler in 1461, Comana served as both a religious sanctuary and defensive fortress. Surrounded by swamplands and once accessible only by a wooden bridge, the monastery holds mysteries linked to Vlad himself. Some historians suggest his remains may be buried here, adding a layer of legend to this historical landmark.
Curtea de Argeș Monastery
This architectural gem from the early 1500s is one of Romania’s most iconic religious sites. Known for its elaborate design blending Byzantine and Moorish styles, it’s also the setting for the famous legend of Master Manole, who sacrificed his wife Ana to complete the monastery. Today, it remains a site of pilgrimage, history, and reverence.
