Information about the Rila Monastery
Occupation is a complex of cult, residential and industrial buildings with a total area of 8800 sq. M. The Rila Monastery has a unique architecture. Outside, with the 24-meter stone walls of its main buildings, which form an irregular pentagon, the monastery looks like a fortress. Therefore, the pilgrim or entrant, who falls inside one of the two iron gates, remains surprised by the softness of the architectural forms: arches and colonnades, covered wooden stairs and carved cabinets, behind which the cells are 300-400 in number.
In the middle of the cobbled yard, in a strange symbiosis, the holy creatures of the Hrelyo Tower and the baroque silver domes of the main church coexist. In the middle of the courtyard stands the oldest building in the complex – an impressive stone tower built by the local feudal Sevastokrator Hrelyo in 1334-1335. Next to it stands a small church, which is only a few years younger (1343 AD). ). In later times (1844) a tower was added to the tower. The main monastery church “Nativity of the Virgin” dates back to the same period.
It is believed that the creator of the Rila Monastery was the first Bulgarian monk-reverend John Rilski (876-946), who chose the desert route as a means of spiritual improvement and a protest against the contraction of the high moral norms of true Christianity. Born in the 70s, witnessing the decline of the First Bulgarian Kingdom during the time of King Peter.
