The central part of Sopot preserves a historic and spiritual treasure. The complex consists of Vuvedenie Bogorodichno convent and St. St. Apostles Peter and Pavel church. Both landmarks hold volumes of history connected to their development.

The convent was created in the 17th century. Its church is the only part of the original complex that survived a fire in 1877.

Vuvedenie Bogorodichno brags the oldest vine in Southeastern Europe. The vine produces grapes till present day.

No food or accommodation is available in the convent but its location in central Sopot turns it into a popular tourism landmark.

St. St. Apostles Peter and Pavel is a massive construction dating back to 1846. Bulgarian writer Ivan Vazov described it “Under the Yoke,” one of his most popular works.

The church suffered serious destruction during the Bulgarian liberation struggles. Its roof and beautiful wood carvings were destroyed in a fire. The church was reconstructed in 1879 and the bell tower appeared in 1900.
