Saint Petka 🍀⛪🥀

in Pinmapple2 years ago (edited)

Hello people, today I want to present you a place that I really liked. This is the monastery in Klisura - St. Petka.

The monastery is located 6 km from Bankya and can be easily reached by car on an asphalt road. The road is not in very good condition, so care must be taken.

The monastery is very old, believed to be over 800 years old. There is a legend which says that the Bulgarian Tsar Ivan Asen II ordered the relics of Saint Petka Paraskeva to be transferred near his palace. During the relocation, the group stopped at this place to rest and then appeared in the form of St. Petka's light. Then they decided to build a church here and later a monastery.

Luckily, the monastery was just closing its doors and I couldn't take many pictures, but that gave me the opportunity to photograph the beautiful nature around it.
