Dryanovo Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Dryanovo, Bulgaria
Dryanovo Monastery is an Orthodox religious site in Dryanovo with a stone church, residential buildings, and several chapels arranged along the Dryanovska River banks. The complex displays religious and architectural features that developed over many centuries.
The monastery was founded in 1101 and later played a military role during the April Uprising of 1876, when rebels fought Ottoman forces for nine days. This episode made it an important site of resistance in Bulgarian history.
The monastery houses religious objects from the Bulgarian National Revival era, including ancient manuscripts and icons. Visitors can see artworks that reflect the spiritual history of the region.
The site is reachable via a paved road from Dryanovo and offers parking for visitors. Guided tours are regularly available to help you understand the buildings and their background.
The site stands near Bacho Kiro Cave, which contains archaeological evidence of human occupation from the Paleolithic period. This proximity shows how long the region has been inhabited.
