Arbanasi Monastery "St. Virgin Mary" (Arbanasi)

Bulgaria / Veliko Tarnovo / Arbanasi / ул. Света Богородица, 32
 nunnery, 12th century construction, Bulgarian Orthodox Church
The "St. Virgin Mary" Convent can be found at the very beginning of the Arbanasi Village, which in turn is situated 5 km away from city of Veliko Tarnovo on the road to town of Gorna Oryahovitsa. It is one of the cloisters scattered around the former capital of Bulgaria, which hold painful memories of the Turks’ invasion in Bulgaria. A visit of this monastery can be a part of a nice day off or a weekend in the ancient village of Arbanasi. Another monastery, St. Nikola lies at the other end of the village and can complement a visit in the neighbourhood.
