Geocache Description:

The Hreliov’s tower

The Hreliov’s tower gives us full notion of the character of the fortress building trough the whole period of the mature Bulgarian feudalism. It was built in 1334-1335 and devoted to St. Joan Rilsky and The Virgin Mother Osenovica. It is an evidence for the technical and artistic skills of the medieval masters.
The chapel on the fifth floor is the biggest interest of the scientists. It has lots of very beautiful and colourful frescos. The chaple “Transfiguration of God” is part of the oldest monastic chaples. Its frescos are dated from the 14 century and they are very valuable monument of the Bulgarian medieval art. What the other elements of the chapel were and in what purpose it was used we won’t know, because it was destroyed by a fire. However, we could consider that it wasn’t a place for a big religious services and it was accessible only for the monks and there was no effort it to be painted again.

The cache is not an easy one, due to its hiding place and the huge muggle traffic. Extreme stealth is required, because searching for something in the monastery ground can be pretty suspicious. The coordinates will lead you to the monastery, but not to the cache itself. Use the "Monastery Plan" sketch below to reveal the mystery of the place.

Good luck!
