Review:
The Rozhen Monastery of the Nativity of the Mother of God is one of the biggest and one of the most well-preserved medieval Bulgarian monasteries. During archaeological digs at the site, many items from Bulgaria's medieval times were unearthed, including coins and decorations from the 1200s. Visitors can explore the stunning site and take in the beautiful frescoes on the exterior walls as well as in the monastery. Other aspects of the Rozhen Monastery that visitors shouldn't miss include the unique wood-carved altars and the collection of highly valued icons. Surrounding the monastery, visitors will find beautiful natural structures including sand pyramids and uniquely shaped eroded rock.
