Klisurski Monastery

The neat white of the Klisurski Monastery stands out today amidst the greenery of the valley of the Vreshtitsa River. The Klisurski Monastery was founded in 1240 during the Second Bulgarian Empire. Nevertheless, the buildings that stand today were built in the 19th century, as the monastery was destroyed several times in the course of its history by the Ottomans. It is the fourth largest monastery in Bulgaria and it offers visitors the possibility of staying overnight on its premises.
