- Eleshnitsa - This monastery was founded in the late 14th or early 15th century, during the reign of Emperor Ivan Alexander (r. 1331–1371), a period when many monasteries in the Sofia region were constructed. Evidence of this is the marble inscription from 1499 embedded in the temple’s floor. Additionally, there are preserved frescoes showcasing typical 15th–16th-century stylization.
