Rojen Monastery


Rojen Monastery (or Rozhen) is about 5km east of Melnik. It's first building is erected in 13 century, and later extended. The name in Bulgarian is 'Rojdestvo Bogorodichno'. Currently, only two monks live in and maintain the Rojen Monstery. Yane Sandanski is buried in the yard of the near by church, just outside the monastery. This church is being renovated, therefore I didn't take any photos.
