Arbanasi

Today was a bus ride out of town to visit 2 churches, they were different to the others as they had all the walls painted which represent stores and the pages of the bible.

Arbanasi is a village in Veliko Tarnovo Province of central northern Bulgaria. It is known for the rich history and large number of historical monuments, such as 17th and 18th-century churches and examples of Bulgarian National Revival architecture, which have turned it into a popular tourist destination.

The village's name comes from the word Arbanas. This is how Slavic people referred to the people living in what is present day Albania. However, the village did not have any Albanian's living there at the time.

The second church did not have the character of the first but still interesting as it was built into the ground.Read more
