The stauropegial Troyan monastery, “Assumption of Virgin Mary”, lies 10 km to the southeast of the old Balkan town of Troyan, in the skirts of the Balkan mountain range. Built at about 400 meters above sea level, the biggest monastery in the Balkan mountains is surrounded by beautiful forests and the Cherni Osam river.

Nice shot and very interesting place. It would be nice to see more of the building, (maybe a wider angle if possible?). Those beautiful stone walls would probably have even more texture during the first/last hours of daylight. I like the composition, the way the roof and walk along the building lead us into the picture. The exposure preserves all the details, too. Nice. Thanks for sharing!
