Famous attractions in Bulgaria: Rila Monastery, suitable for taking photos📸

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Bulgaria is a world-famous tourist and holiday country, with thousands of tourists coming here for sightseeing and holiday every day. There are many attractions in Bulgaria. This time I will introduce a famous local attraction: Rila Monastery. Rila Monastery is located deep in the Rila Mountains, 120 kilometers south of Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. It is surrounded by pine forests and the air is filled with tranquility. When winter and spring come, the snow on the background mountains has not melted, and the sacred feeling is full! The monastery dates back to the 10th century and was founded by Bulgaria's patron saint, St. John of Rila. In 1983, Rila Monastery was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. As soon as you enter the courtyard, you will be attracted by the surrounding arcades and the church with black and white stripes and red bricks, which is very characteristic of the Balkan Peninsula. The church's arcade walls and ceilings are painted with colorful frescoes on religious themes, and the details are breathtaking. The murals are dominated by bright red, blue and gold colors, depicting classic scenes from the Bible, with every detail telling a long religious history. The interior of the church is even more gorgeous, with a dazzling golden dome, exquisite wooden altars, and smooth lines and bright colors of the icons. The candlelight flickers in the silence, mysterious and solemn.
