Къща музей „Неофит Рилски“
The birthplace of Neofit Rilski, the 'father of Bulgarian education'. The stone-and-timber house displays his life, writings and the setting of his era.
Neofit Rilski (1793–1881) was a National Revival educator, linguist and monk who wrote the first Bulgarian grammar book and is revered as the 'father of Bulgarian education'. His house is a typical two-story stone-and-timber dwelling from Bansko. It displays his life story, manuscripts and early textbooks, along with furnishings from the Revival period. Located in the center of the old town, it can be visited with the old-town museum combined ticket. It may be closed on Mondays or during parts of winter.
