The museum - town of Melnik attracts the Bulgarian and foreign tourists by its strange gold – red mystic sandy forms, erecting near it.
Melnik is an ancient town, rich in cultural monuments: old houses from the Bulgarian Revival, coins and architectural details. It is also famous for its red wine.
During the XIII century Melnik passed through a great political, economic and cultural upsurge, when despot Slav, a descendant of Assen dynasty, ruler of the Rhodopes and Pirin mountain in 1209 turned the town into a capital of an independent feudal principality. Building developed to a great extent. Most of the ruins are of that time.
Melnik is an architectural reserve. The houses are amphitheatrically placed on the famous golden Melnik rocks.
There are narrow cobbled streets with many little shops and wine cellars. A man can't pass with indifference by the Yankov's House, the Daskalov's House, the Lambov's House or the Sandakchiev's House. But the most remarkable one is the Kordopulov's House, built in 1758. |
