Asenovgrad — culture and sights

Since ancient times, Asenovgrad has controlled the descent into the Rhodope plain, which links the southern and northern parts of Thrace. The first settlements here date to the 7th century BCE. Different sources say Thracians or Greek colonists founded the town under the name Stanimachos. Many scholars interpret that name as “narrow pass,” which describes the local area well. Later the town changed its name to Stanimaka, the name it kept for most of its history.

In the Middle Ages, the town gained special importance after the start of the Bulgarian–Byzantine war. Both sides tried to control the pass, and a grand fortress was built here for that reason. The fortress, however, could not save the town from Ottoman conquest. From the 14th century on, the town’s military importance for the country’s defence declined.

Until the start of the First World War, present-day Asenovgrad remained an important trading town. It was largely populated by Greeks who had moved here from the Rhodopes while fleeing Ottoman raids. Asenovgrad took little part in the country’s struggles for independence. In these parts there were few signs of the national revival; instead, religious tensions dominated. The Greeks remained loyal to the Constantinople Patriarchate, while the Bulgarians wanted to join their own church. Probably for this reason Asenovgrad now boasts many different churches built by Bulgarians. During the Balkan Wars, which preceded the First World War, the struggle for the town intensified. As a result, by the 1920s, almost all Greeks had left the area. For greater authenticity, the Bulgarians decided to rename the town Asenovgrad, removing even the slightest hint in the name that Turks had once lived here.

It is no wonder the town is called “Little Jerusalem”: it has 12 churches and more than fifty chapels, and four large monasteries surround Asenovgrad. The largest is Bachkovo Monastery. Nearby you can also find the Arapovski Monastery, the only monastery in Bulgaria said to have been built by Polish settlers. In the area, you can visit the metochion “Saint Petko,” and the oldest religious building in the town is the Church “Sveta Bogoroditsa,” which for centuries has kept a revered icon of the Mother of God. In addition, the town offers many museums with archaeological, ethnographic, paleontological, revival-era, and winemaking exhibits, among others. For architecture lovers, several old houses from Bulgaria’s National Revival period are must-sees. Today, Asenovgrad is important for the country’s culture, tourism, and religious life, and it contains especially valuable medieval churches.

Asen’s Fortress and churches

A few kilometres from the town stands the majestic Asen Fortress, rightly included among Bulgaria’s 100 national heritage sites that anyone can visit year-round. About 10 km from the town you will find the Church “Dormition of the Mother of God,” which can impress architecture lovers with its form and interior decoration. This church is also known as one of the larger and more historic churches in Bulgaria. Nearby you can also see the church of Sts. Kir and Youan, and the Strastna Sedmitsa (Holy Week) Monastery near Zlatovrah is a must-visit on a scenic plain. Equally interesting are the mysterious Thracian rock sanctuaries, which still amaze visitors today. Another notable site is the Krustova Gora sanctuary, located 46 km south of Asenovgrad. In ancient times, a monastery stood there and was burned to the ground by Ottoman invaders, and its monks were brutally killed. Today, a beautiful church stands there to remind visitors of the turbulent times in the town’s history.
