Dryanovo Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Dryanovo, Bulgaria
The monastery complex includes a stone church, residential buildings, and several chapels situated along the banks of the Dryanovska River.
Founded in 1101, the monastery served as a fortress during the April Uprising of 1876, when rebels defended against Ottoman forces for nine days.
The monastery maintains a collection of religious artifacts, including ancient manuscripts, icons from the Bulgarian National Revival period, and ecclesiastical items.
Visitors can access the monastery through a paved road from Dryanovo, with parking facilities and guided tours available throughout the year.
The monastery stands near the Bacho Kiro Cave, containing archaeological evidence of human habitation dating back to the Paleolithic period.
