Village of Arbanasi

The village of Arbanassi is situated 3km to the northeast of the former capital of Bulgaria, Veliko Turnovo, perching on a high plateau overseeing the Trapezitsa and Tsarevets hills. The settlement saw its bloom in the 17-18th c. when it grew into a wealthy crafts and trade hub. It was during that period that most of its gorgeous houses were erected. The oldest houses of Arbanasi are made entirely of stone and resemble tiny models of fortresses that cannot be seen anywhere else in Bulgaria.
Today Arbanassi is an architectural and museum reserve. It is a picturesque open-air museum of cultural heritage, which includes 80 houses, most impressive of which are the Konstanzalieva, Hadji-ilieva, Hadji-kostova, Chamurova, Kandilarova and Lecheva, as well as 5 churches "Rozhdestvo Hristovo" (Nativity) with more than 3,600 frescoes, "St. George", "St. Dimitar", "St. Atanas", "Archangels St.Mihail and St. Gavrail".
