Rila Monastery
The pearl of historic Bulgaria is the Rila Monastery founded in the 10th century. The monastery is a complex of cultural, residential and industrial buildings with a total area of more than 8 thousand square meters. This architectural structure will surprise even the experienced tourist: a 24-meter-high stone wall forms an irregular pentagonal building that looks like a fortress. Inside the monastery, there are many arches and colonnades, various wooden stairs and balconies. In 1983, the Rila Monastery was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Also on the territory of the monastery, there is a historical museum, in which there are more than 35 thousand exhibits.
Devil’s Bridge
Built-in the beginning of the XVI century, the Devil’s Bridge is the most beautiful arched bridge in Bulgaria. Its length is 56 meters, width – 3.5 meters, and its central arch rises by 11.5 meters. The internal semicircular arches were built in order to control the water level.
The reason, why some locals don’t dare to cross this bridge, is rooted in dark stories about this place. One of them is that the wife of the chief builder died during the construction, so her ghost was enclosed in the building. Another fable says that somewhere on the rocks you can find the devil’s track.
In 1984 the bridge was declared a cultural heritage.
Belogradchik Rocks
This is a unique natural phenomenon not only for Bulgaria but for the whole of Europe. Beautiful natural formations are in the north-west of the country near the town of Belogradchik.
The height of the rocks reaches 200 meters, they form a strip about 30 km long and up to 3 km wide. In 1949, the rocks were declared a cultural heritage. Also, there are such sights as the fortress Belogradchik and Magura Cave with curious drawings on the walls.
