Bulgaria, Basarbovski Rock Monastery

The Rock Monastery, also known as Saint Demetrius Basarbovsky, is located near Basarbovo village in Bulgaria. Established during the Second Bulgarian Empire, it was first mentioned in an Ottoman tax register in 1431. Saint Demetrius Bezerbovsky, born in 1685, was a notable inhabitant whose relics were moved to Bucharest during the Russo-Turkish War. The monastery, the only active rock monastery in Bulgaria, features a curative well and a rock church with a wood-carved iconostasis. It was restored in 1937 and now includes a museum exposition.
