One Day Tour to Kyustendil and the Zemen Monastery

Kyustendil was founded in the 5th century B.C. by the Thracian tribes who settled here attracted by the hot mineral water springs. In the 1st century the Romans turned it into a town named Pautalia which translated means “the city of the spring.” They built ancient baths as well as a strong fortress wall which can be still seen today.

An art gallery named after the greatest Bulgarian artist Vladimir Dimitrov is also located in Kyustendil and you will also be able to visit the house-museum of Dimitar Peshev – the man who helped save the Bulgarian Jews during the Second World War.

Visit the 11th century church "John the Evangelist," part of the Zemen monastery complex, is a typical representative of the Bulgarian Medieval church architecture. Its greatest treasure are the murals presenting moments from the Holy Bible together with portraits of the church donors.
