The last Sunday, I finally got a day off (well not a whole day, but 5-6 hours ;) ) and I went to the Rila Monastery. The Rila Monastery is at 120km from Sofia, on the road to Greece. The thing which impressed me the most was that this building is really enormous and it was built in the 10th century, during the reign of the Bulgarian Tzar Peter (927-968). So this was approximately 300 years that Bulgaria was founded (in 681). The chronicle of this monastery reflects the entire history of the Bulgarian State and the Bulgarian people.
In 1983 Rila Monastery was included in the UNESCO List of World Heritage.
