Jointly with the Association of Bulgarian Tour Guides, the Ministry of Tourism is working on a series of promotional videos presenting lesser-known corners of Bulgaria.
Take a look at the 2-minute video dedicated to the beautiful Novo Selo Monastery “Holy Trinity” in the small town of Apriltsi in the Balkan range:
It was founded in 1830 as a family monastery. During the April Uprising (1876) the cloister became the centre of the so-called Republic of Novo Selo - it became a stronghold for the rebels who fought off the Turkish army in the course of nine whole days.

Today there is a small museum in the chapel behind the monastery where the relics of the people massacred during the uprising are kept.
