MONASTERY OF THE ARCHANGEL-MICHEL (МИХАИЛ СВЕТИ МАНАСТИР СВЕТИ)
Abbey monastery and convent
Read moreThis lovely little Orthodox monastery (Манастир Свети Архангел Михаил) was founded in 1840 from a church dating from 1818. Around a neat lawn, the buildings adopt the čardak style with exposed beams and woodwork. The church is half sunken into the ground: the Ottomans then required new churches to be discreet, especially in urban areas like this. The nuns who occupy the place are generally very welcoming with the visitors.
