Hilendar Convent (Stara Zagora)

Bulgaria / Stara Zagora / Stara Zagora / Pop Bogomil St, 1
Bulgarian education had its beginning during the Turkish yoke when the so-called 'cellar' schools started to develop. They were housed in churches or monasteries, and they occupied small rooms resembling cells. The educated monks taught their novices to read and write, and to discover the wonders of education.
The Hilendar Convent is a wonderful example of a cellar school and it is the first of its kind in the region of Stara Zagora. It was created in the second half of 18th century, and it has been burned down and rebuilt throughout the years.
