We are two expats living in Bulgaria. Our visit to this Historic UNESCO site, the Rila Monastery is a site to behold. This holy monastery is the Bulgarian Jerusalem and has served over 700 years as the spiritual foundation for Christianity and the Bulgarian people.
A perfect day trip from Sofia, the capital is defiantly worth it.
This was the place of spiritual settlement for the esteemed Loan Rilski, known as the wonder worker.
You will see murals, icons, the church and this incredible monastery located in the Rila Mountain.
