:) Моля , разкажете ми нещо за историята на тази къща? Според мен е една от най-красивите в България. Ако имате възможност пишете ми на ivelina_ter@hotmail.com

Wonderfull!!! Greetings from Bulgaria.

This is the Sultan's Gate to the converted church Hagia Sophia [or "Ayasofya Camii" in Turkish]. See the similarities of the canopy and roof with the drinking fountain of Ahmed III built in 1728, in front of the Topkapi Palace, Sultanahmet, Istanbul. [For brief description see Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topkap%C4%B1_Palace ]

Like the great square fountain this gate has also been built in Rococo style. The roof is formed by a central box with hipped roof with ogee surfaces, and little turrets on both sides. The ceiling is elaborately panelled.

The Troyan Monastery is the third largest monastery in Bulgaria. For a brief description see Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troyan_Monastery

"The main church of the monastery was reconstructed near the end of Ottoman rule during the Bulgarian National Revival period by a master-builder called Konstantin in 1835. The ornate interior and exterior of the church were painted between 1847 and 1849 by Zahari Zograph, a popular Bulgarian painter of the time, who also painted the central church of the Rila Monastery, the largest monastery in Bulgaria".
