Another full day to relax and pamper yourself with unforgettable spa treatments including manual massages, Vichy Shower and mud treatment. This afternoon you may wish to visit the central part of the city with its fascinating sightseeing such as The Art Gallery, The Tower of Pirgue, Prokopiev house and churches – St. Bogoroditsa and St. Dimitar Or you may wish to take a short drive to Zemen Monastery (25 km from Kyustendil). It is one of the oldest monasteries, a valuable monument of culture and art, founded during 14th century. A solid stone building was the only one to survive the monastery’s ravaging and depopulation after Bulgaria’s subjection to Ottoman rule. Such as it remains today, the Zemen church is an absolute exception to the whole of Bulgaria’s medieval architecture: a cubic building, with three semi cylindrical upsides with equal height, reaching up to the roof cornice which unites them in a single group.
