Преображенският манастир
Преображенският манастир се намира на 7км северно от Велико Търново сред богата и красива природа. Основан по времето на Втората българска държава, главно се свързва с личността на втората съпруга на българския цар Иван-Александър - Сара и сина им цар Иван Шишман. Важен духовен център по това време, след падането на българите под турско робство, манастирът е опожаряван и плячкосван, а по-късно разрушен. Възстановен е отново през 19в. Украсен е със стенописи от Захарий Зограф.
В него се е укривал и самият Левски. По време на Руско-турската освободителна война манастирът е служел като болница. Една от зебелжителностите е "Колелото на живота" - изрисувана сцена, която описва цикъла на човешкото битие. От камбанарията, изградена от Кольо Фичето, се разкрива красива панорамна гледка към Преображенската света обител, както и към девическия манастир от другата страна на Дервентския пролом.
Манастирът е отворен за посещение, но настаняване не се предлага.

ОтговорИзтриванеBoth the monastery itself and the it's surroundings look very tranquil and beautiful. It seems monasteries are often situated in mountains but I guess it makes sense. Thank you for sharing your experience with us Sany! That pic of you is super sweet :)
