Etropole Monastery. West-central Bulgaria
Etropole Monastery, is in west-central Bulgaria. Etropole is 86km from Sofia centre, 242km from Bansko and 383km from Varna airport.
The monastery was founded in the 12th or 13th century, its heyday being from the 16th to the 18th century. It was the dominant literary centre of Ottoman-ruled northern Bulgaria.
The closest inhabited place is the village of Ribaritsa, which is 4 kilometres away. The monastery lies among maple woodlands at the foot of the Balkan Mountains
The monastery was originally founded during the Second Bulgarian Empire, either in the 12th or 13th century. According to a stone inscription reportedly placed into the foundations of the church, the exact year of its foundation is 1158, during the Byzantine rule of Bulgaria. The Etropole Monastery reached its apogee between the 16th and 18th centuries, when it emerged as the most important literary and cultural centre of the northern Bulgarian lands under Ottoman rule, with its own scriptoria and a calligraphic school with a characteristic style. Under abbots Anthony, Zachary and Raphael, who were in charge of the monastery from the 1620s to the 1640s, the Etropole Literary School was a major centre of production for chiefly religious manuscripts. Its influence spread throughout the Balkans to other schools of the time. Particularly active scribes of this period were the priest Valcho, hieromonk Daniel, John the Grammarian and Basil of Sofia. Thanks to the successful literary efforts of its community, the monastery was able to sustain itself through the sale of manuscripts, in addition to donations from wealthy locals.
In the late 19th century, during the last decades of the Ottoman rule of Bulgaria, Elephant the time of Bulgaria's struggle for independence, the monastery provided shelter to national hero Vasil Levski and other anti-Ottoman revolutionaries. Levski even had a hiding place specially built for himself at the monastery.
The monastery's present main church is a large cruciform three-naved church that features five hexagon-shaped turret domes. The church was constructed in 1858 or 1859, though its exterior decoration was not finished until 1860 and its current set of interior frescoes were only painted from 1896 to 1907. In addition to the main church. The chapels are each dedicated to Saint John the Baptist and Saints Cosmas and Damian. Among the valuable items in possession of the monastery are two 15th-century crosses with rich silver decoration and a gold-plated ossuary. The oldest icon from the Etropole Monastery is a rendition of the Holy Trinity of the Old Testament from 1598 painted by the teacher Nedyalko from Lovech.
In the woods in the vicinity of the monastery are the Varovitets Waterfall, 15 m high, and its source, named karst spring.
