Holy Trinity Church
Църква „Света Троица“
A large Revival-era church completed in 1835. Its 30-meter bell tower is the landmark of Bansko’s old town, and its interior is filled with icons painted by the Bansko School.
Holy Trinity Church was built in 1835. Under Ottoman rule, Bansko’s residents obtained permission to construct it, and at the time it was one of the largest churches in Bulgaria, surrounded by high walls. The bell tower, about 30 m tall and fitted with a clock, was added in 1850 and became the town’s emblem. Inside are finely carved wooden iconostasis and icons and murals painted by artists of the Bansko School of painting. The church sits beside Nikola Vaptsarov Square in the center of the old town. Admission is free, but dress modestly when entering.
