UNESCO sites in Bulgaria

Bulgaria is located in the heart of the Balkans, sharing boarders with Serbia, Macedonia, Romania, Greece and Turkey. Visitors will be greeted by a unique blend of enchanting monasteries, friendly people and old-world charm. Bulgaria has a democratic government and is one of the oldest states in Europe. Its Black Sea coast draws tourists all year long. Don’t miss the frescos at Rila Monastery. This mesmerizing monastery is named after its founder, the hermit Ivan of Rila and has a style unlike any other monastery on the globe. During your stay, you will also want to check out the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. This Bulgarian Orthodox cathedral is built in Neo-Byzantine style and located in the heart of Sophia. Outside the city, near the village of Madara, the Madara Rider rock relief carving is a must-see. This mysterious piece of art dates back to 710 AD. Lastly, be sure to see the Basilica of the Holy Mother of God Eleusa and the Church of St. George while you’re here.

Madara Rider

A symbol of the Bulgarian people, history and culture, the Madara Rider or Madara Horseman is an early medieval rock relief carved on the Madara Plateau that dates back to 710 AD. The monument sits 246 feet above ground on the cliff face. The real mystery is that the relief is inaccessible.
