Kremikovtsi Monastery, Medieval Orthodox monastery in Kremikovtsi, Bulgaria
The monastery complex stands on a rocky terrace above Sofia plain, featuring two churches and residential buildings within stone walls.
Founded during the Second Bulgarian Empire in the 14th century, the monastery was destroyed in 1398 and rebuilt by nobleman Radivoy in 1493.
The interior walls display 15th-century frescoes from the Turnovo School, with saints and martyrs portrayed in detailed compositions and rich colors.
The monastery remains open to visitors who can reach it by following the visible church dome through the Kremikovtsi quarter, 3 kilometers from Sofia.
The Kremikovtsi Gospel, created at the monastery in 1497, represents the achievements of the Sofia School of Literature and calligraphy.
