Rila Monastery
Rila, Bulgaria
1834 / 1862
Founded in the 10th century, the monastery was masterfully rebuilt between 1834-1862. The complex is organized as a fortress-like quadrangle, with multi-level residential structures featuring rhythmic arcades that surround the central church. This layout creates a protected inner world, contrasting the fortified exterior with a harmonious courtyard. Its architecture integrates robust structure with refined decorative arts, such as wood carvings and murals, profoundly influencing later styles throughout the Balkan region.
