Aladja manastery is one of the most famous rock monasteries in the northeastern Bulgaria. This medieval rock cave monastery is located 17km north of Varna, the second biggest city of the country, which is also called the sea capital.
The monastic cells were carved in the 25-m high carst cliffs at different levels. The third picture shows how the cave complex used to look like...
