Rila Monastery

Rila is a Greek Orthodox monastery that is located in the mountains outside Sofia Bulgaria. It is a UNESCO world heritage site, and for good reason. Almost all the wall surfaces are covered in elaborate frescos like this one depicting the dammed in Hell.

The view outside Rila looks out onto one of europes most pristine natural landscapes. The Trip from Sofia into the mountains is like going back in time, except for the cell phones!

At Rila nearly all the surfaces were covered in complex frescos like this one, which is undergoing restoration.
