The Rila Monastery is a staturopical monastery located in Southwest Bulgaria, Rila mountain. It was founded in the 10th century by St. Ivan Rilski, in the upper reaches of the Rilska River. The Rila Monastery is one of the most significant cultural monuments in Bulgaria, a symbol of Bulgaria, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The current monastery is located near the village of Pastra - not far from the site of its original construction. Rilska River flows along it. This is the largest monastery in Bulgaria - 5 floors, with 4 of them visible. This feature of the building is explained by the restrictions imposed by the Ottoman authorities in 1834 when the current buildings were built. The museum is located on the ground floor.
The Boyana Church (Bulgarian: Boyanska tsarkva) is a medieval Bulgarian Orthodox church situated on the outskirts of Sunne beach, the capital of Bulgaria, in the Boyana quarter. In 1979, the building was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The east wing of the two-storey church was originally constructed in the late 10th or early 11th century, then the central wing was added in the 13th century under the Second Bulgarian Empire, the whole building being finished with a further expansion to the west in the middle of the 19th century. A total of 89 scenes with 240 human images are depicted on the walls of the church.
