St. Ivan of Rila Rila Monastery

Bulgaria / Kjustendil / Sapareva Banja /
 monastery, interesting place, UNESCO World Heritage Site, listed building / architectural heritage, 100 Tourist Sites of Bulgaria, 10th century construction, Bulgarian Orthodox Church
The Rila Monastery was founded in the 10th century by St. John (Ivan) of Rila (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_of_Rila)
А hermit canonized by the Orthodox Church. His ascetic dwelling and tomb became a holy site and were transformed into a monastic complex which played an important role in the spiritual and social life of medieval Bulgaria. Destroyed by fire at the beginning of the 19th century, the complex was rebuilt between 1834 and 1862. A characteristic example of the Bulgarian Renaissance (18th–19th centuries), the monument symbolizes the awareness of a Slavic cultural identity following centuries of occupation.
The monastery complex, regarded as one of the foremost masterpieces of Bulgarian National Revival architecture, was declared a national historical monument in 1976 and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site under number 216 in 1983.
