- Tsarevets - Veliko Tarnovo, once the capital of the Bulgarian Empire from 1185-1393, is another must-visit attraction in Bulgaria. Visitors will not only explore UNESCO World Heritage sites but also enjoy relaxation, adventure, and traditional Bulgarian cuisine, ensuring a truly unforgettable experience.
Strolling through the narrow streets and admiring the tiered houses, visitors will feel a sense of belonging in this charming city, known for its rich culture and distinctive appearance.
- Konstantsalieva House - While open-air museums may be familiar, a private visit to Arbanasi Village in Bulgaria, just across the Romanian border, will captivate anyone with its extraordinary architecture, even those without a professional eye.
Upon entering the village, visitors will find it hard to put their cameras down, as each house resembles a miniature fortress, featuring unique stone structures, thick walls, and wooden window frames. The entire village is a designated historical and architectural reserve and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
- Church of the Nativity - This is the oldest and most elaborately decorated church in Arbanasi. Constructed in stages, the earliest wall paintings date back to the late 16th century. The church comprises a naos, a narthex, a gallery, and a chapel dedicated to St. John the Baptist.
One of the most fascinating scenes is the genealogical tree of Jesus Christ with the twelve ancient philosophers, located in the narthex.
“The wheel of life” is the most striking wall painting in the church’s gallery, marking the earliest depiction of this scene on the walls of Bulgarian churches.
