Aladzha Monastery – a spiritual and cultural landmark on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast.

Aladzha Monastery is the most famous medieval rock-hewn monastery along Bulgarian Black Sea coast. Inhabited by hermit monks in the 13th–14th centuries, it stands as a testament to the rich spiritual life of the Second Bulgarian Kingdom. The monastery name, derived from Persian or Arabic, means “colorful”, a reference to the vivid murals once decorating its chapel. The mysterious caves, unique architecture and legends of hidden treasures and ghostly monks have long captured the imagination of visitors, making it a top destination featured in global travel guides. The nearby museum, built in the 1970s, houses permanent and thematic exhibitions on Bulgarian Christian culture.
