Albums - Dryanovski (9 photos here)

Dryanovski monastery existed at the time of the reign of Asenovtci brothers in the XII century. It was built up for the commemoration of the victories of the Bulgarians under Byzantium and that is why it was named after the strategist Michail.  During the centuries later on it was destroyed two times and renovated at its present place in 1845. To the temple there was a church , built halfly in the ground. The monastery is located near by the city of Tryavna.
