Krastova Gora, Architectural ensemble in Rhodope Mountains, Bulgaria
The religious architectural complex stands at 1,545 meters altitude on a meadow encircled by dense forest in the Middle Rhodope Mountain range.
In 1936, the complex received a 99-kilogram metal cross from Tsar Boris III, which remains an essential element of its architectural composition.
The architectural ensemble includes the Protection of Holy Virgin Mary church and twelve chapels dedicated to apostles along a mountainside pathway.
The complex location sits 60 kilometers from Plovdiv and 40 kilometers from Asenovgrad, with accommodations available for extended visits.
The architectural site incorporates modern design elements while serving as a major Christian center where thousands gather annually on September 13.
