Walking in Elena (Bulgaria) - Cultural Sights

Elena (Bulgaria) is an old settlement founded before the 15th century. During the 18th and 19th century it established itself as a centre for crafts, trade and education. There are several architectural ensembles preserved dating back to the Bulgarian National Revival and comprising about 130 old houses. There are also wall-to-wall construction forms and interesting street silhouettes. The houses have stone basements with white-washed or wooden walls of the upper floor with protruding bays above.
The town's sights include an old first class school, founded in 1848 and named Daskalolivnitsa, where future teachers were educated (and where nowadays a museum exhibition is arranged). The St Nicholas Church of the 16th century, with valuable mural paintings and icons, and the three-naved Church of the Assumption, built entirely of stone (1837). The clock tower (Chasovnikova kula) that features an antique clock mechanism (1812) rises at the town's highest point. (Source: Wikipedia)

[@UrbanWalkingExperience]

When I go there on holiday I sometimes record a video, but they don't become very popular, so I focus more on London videos

2:27 that's not the first school in Bulgaria. It's not even the first secular school in Bulgaria, which is the April high-school in Gabrovo. The one in Elena is the first secular school, which divided the school into different classes/grades.

Ще е яко ако слагаш един вграден квадрат в един от ъглите които да показва движението по google maps. Kato kartata na gta
