With my friends, we visited Bulgarian village Matochina, named after the famous medicinal herb that grows in these places.
It is located on the southernmost slopes of the ancient Sakar mountain and only 450 m west of the Turkish border.
According to data, through antiquity, it was the central part of the Odris Kingdom of the Thracians.
The historical monuments in the area are priceless and extremely interesting: 2 km to the southwest is the rock church "Sveti Duh", and on the ridge of the hill of the village is the Machina fortress "Bukelon", which is extremely well preserved to this day.
In the center is the town hall, a corner with a shed, a fountain and a well and a functioning Tourist Information Center in a renovated building.
The town hall of the village:

The church in the village, built at the end of 1935 is deserted.

Although the place has a rich history and has been inhabited since ancient times, today the village is quiet and deserted.
Most of the houses are about to collapse.
We found out from the local people that there are currently 8 residents in the village, and we met four of them. They were happy to talk to us.

the ambiance, it gives and eerie feeling but it sure is beautiful. i would assume the whole place is as peaceful as the images implied. the photos taken were great as well, i personally love that kind of, what do we call them? filters, effects, sort of. they're very eye-pleasing. 😸
Тranquility and sadness emanated from the place. The colors of the photos are enhanced and only enhance the feeling from the atmosphere. Glad you like it @rks.wuhdrelis 🙂
