Curiosity


In the Rusenski Lom Valley, in North-eastern Bulgaria, a number of churches, chapels, monasteries and cells have been dug into the rock around the village of Ivanovo. This is where the first hermits dug their cells and churches in the 12th century. The 14th-century wall paintings illustrate the exceptional artistic technique developed by the Tarnovo school of painting.
