The Trap to Holi Virgin's Rock Church

Located on almost a cosmic landscape - rock massifs, enveloping the picturesque river valley 22 kilometres south-west of the city of Rousse. As if striving to be closer to God, hermit monks settled here during the 11th - 14th century, digging cells, churches and chapels into the rocks. Talented artists painted them with realistic frescos, exquisite in colour and composition, and turned them into a treasure trove of Bulgarian mediaeval painting.
