Gorna banya Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Gorna banya district, Sofia, Bulgaria.
The Gorna banya Monastery features a basilica with a single apse design and stands near mineral springs in the Lyulin Mountain region.
Established in the 13th century as St. Kral Monastery, the complex contained the remains of Serbian king Stefan Urosh and underwent multiple reconstructions.
The monastery, dedicated to Saints Cyril and Methodius, maintains Bulgarian Orthodox traditions through religious services and annual feast celebrations.
Located 3 kilometers from Sofia's Gorna banya district, the monastery welcomes visitors who can reach it through regular public transportation services.
