Several cats and dogs live altogether there ..i saw a real dogs family lol !!
and the cats are so calm and not uneasy as we use to see in main cities... this is their home and we are the visitors so its easy to caress them with no harm

This is a picture of the kitchen used by the Monks when they lived in Rila many decades ago. They opened the kitchen the day I visited the monestary. I was told that it is only rarly throughout the year.

this is the ceiling of the outdoor arcades..all is painted in lively colours..its really nice !! and everything is religious features and subjects
