Илия Илиев (4 years ago)
The road there, especially the last kilometers, is quite difficult - it is practically a dirt road. There are 2 churches in the monastery, one from the Second Bulgarian Kingdom, painted quite interestingly. When I visited, we were greeted by a lady (a minister of God) who spoke passionately about religion and the Orthodox faith in general - very enlightening and touching. The monastery has been renovated and is quite beautiful. The surrounding area too.

The Strupe Monastery "St. Prophet Ilia", also called "Tarzhishki", because in the past there was a marketplace nearby, which arose during the time of the Second Bulgarian Kingdom, is a wonderful, beautiful, peaceful and holy place. It is not clear when exactly the monastery was founded. During the fall of Bulgaria under Ottoman rule, the holy monastery was burned down, and its oldest building, preserved to this day, is the cathedral church. It is believed that the temple dates back to the 16th century, but there are also opinions that it may have been built in the 14th century.

A nice big monastery with a solitary keeper who likes to talk to people. He tells interesting things.

Tarzhishki (Strupets) monastery is located near the village of Strupets, right next to the Iskar gorge. A very calm, clean and quiet place. In the courtyard of the monastery there is an old and a new temple.
