A local would say...

Destroyed twice, rebuilt twice — this monastery refuses to stop clinging to its cliffside.

A charming streamside monastery tucked under top-heavy cliffs 24km south of Veliko Tarnovo, built in the 12th century and last rebuilt in the early 18th century after being twice destroyed. The monastery sits beside a rushing stream in a narrow gorge with an intimate, peaceful atmosphere that contrasts with better-known Bulgarian monasteries. Simple overnight rooms are available for those who wish to stay.
