On this web site you will learn something about my country Bulgaria, and see some photos taken here.

Founded in 681 A.D., Bulgaria was converted to Christianity in 865 A.D., and established itself as a state. Architecture and art are best understood within the context of the nation's rich history.

The Slav tribes and the proto-Bulgarians who founded the Bulgarian State, found remains of the millennial cultural heritage of Thracians, Romans and Byzantians in the lands of the Balkan Peninsula. During the first centuries of its existence, however, the Slav-Bulgarian state produced its own monumental civic buildings and places of worship which differed from the inherited monuments.

At the start of the 11th century, Bulgaria ruled over vast lands stretching from the Black Sea to the Adriatic, and from the Carpathians to the Aegean Sea. The few remaining works of the times show that the Bulgarian style of painting originated during the 9th-10th centuries and reached maturity during the 12th-14th century, of which there are many fine examples.

The Ottoman invasion of the Balkan Peninsula and Bulgaria's ultimate subjection to Ottoman rule in 1396, set her development back by centuries. The Ottoman Empire was lagging behind both culturally and economically, hampering the manifestation of Bulgaria art and architecture. The deep faith in the national spirit helped to retain the language, religion and customs. To the Bulgarians, the concept of survival lost a large part of its purely physical meaning. Already during the first centuries of Ottoman rule, houses and churches which preserved the rich building and artistic traditions of the nation, were built in the Central and Eastern Balkan Range, in the Stredna Gora and Strandja mountains.

In 1762, Paissii of Hilendar wrote his famous Slav-Bulgarian History - the first nationwide call for an uprising of the enslaved Bulgarian people in whose land the passage of time and history was slowed down. A nationwide movement for economic, social, cultural and national liberation was born.
