It is said that Rila Monastery is the most visited tourist attraction in Bulgaria.
It is also in UNESCO World Heritage list.
It is unique for its colorful outdoor, arches and column are in stripe like zebra.
Built in 927 and heavily restored in 1469.
Located 120 km, about 2 hours drive, south of Sofia.
I joined the day trip by Hostel Mostel Sofia, included a short hiking to Tomb of St. Ivan, the founder of the monastery.
The entrance to the monastery is free, but you have to pay to enter the museums, there are three, the main museum, the icon museum and the kitchen museum.
