The monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was founded in the 10th century. In the winter of 1832/33, a major fire destroyed the monastery complex, except for the Chreljo Tower and the chapel. With donations from the public, the buildings were restored, expanded, and renovated.

It's definitely worth visiting not just the museum, but also the combined ticket for all the areas, including the icon exhibition. A visit to the guest rooms in the monastery is especially worth it. The rooms are beautiful to look at, and the view of the monastery from the upper galleries is also magnificent.

in the monastery complex

The Monastry of Rila is one of Bulgaria’s most outstanding cultural monuments. It impresses twice, first when you enter through the outer walls to get a view upon the 4-storey living quarters and the monesrary church, and, a second time, when you enter the church, which’s interior is over and over decorated in frescoes and gold.

You can spend the night in the monastery. We had a double room with bathroom en suite.

You must have seen the Rila Monastery. Equipment, architecture and landscape are unique! Back then we were also thrilled by the home-made bread. That tasted wonderful - especially after the long hike over the Rila Mountains.

We have this place as a nationality

Culturally very attractive. Does the bakery still exist in the monastery? Tasted great, especially when coming from Musala after the long hike.
