Divotino Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Pernik Municipality, Bulgaria
The Divotino Monastery stands on the northern slopes of Lyulin Mountain, bordered by two brooks flowing near its stone walls.
Founded in 1046, the monastery began construction after local farmers discovered a pot of gold while working their land.
The monastery functions as a brotherhood of monks, maintaining Orthodox Christian traditions and offering spiritual guidance to visitors.
Located 10 kilometers from Divotino village and 4 kilometers southwest of Bankya's Michailovo quarter, the monastery welcomes visitors seeking religious experiences.
The monastery's location was determined by placing a pot of gold on a donkey's back, with the construction site chosen where the animal stopped.
