Izvor Monastery, Religious complex in Izvor, Bulgaria.
The monastery consists of residential buildings, a rock church, and a bell tower arranged around a yard within a mountain landscape setting.
The monastery traces its origins to the Second Bulgarian Empire in the 12th century and experienced periods of abandonment during Ottoman rule.
Saint Dimitar Basarbovski contributed to the monastery's development, establishing it as a destination for religious gatherings and community celebrations.
Visitors need to climb numerous steps on a steep path to reach the rock church, and limited amenities require bringing necessary provisions.
The monastery contains a well dug by Saint Dimitar himself, measuring 4.5 x 8.6 meters, which locals consider to possess healing properties.
