Museum of Otets Paisii Hilendarski

Commemorating the eponymous local monk, author and instigator of Bulgarian nationalism, this museum contains a chapel with a replica of the room at the Serbian Hilandarski Monastery on Greece’s Mt Athos, where Paisii wrote his seminal and fulsome narrative of the history of the Slavs.
