In the quiet of the night
When the rain is silently falling
When the last stop lights have faded in the distance
and the last party goers have settled for the night
Then the City magically comes to life. Go out and see it.

The Boyana Church (Bulgarian: Боянска църква, Boyanska tsărkva) is a medieval Bulgarian Orthodox church situated on the outskirts of Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, in the Boyana quarter. In 1979, the building was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The east wing of the two-storey church was originally constructed in the late 10th or early 11th century, then the central wing was added in the 13th century under the Second Bulgarian Empire, the whole building being finished with a further expansion to the west in the middle of the 19th century. A total of 89 scenes with 240 human images are depicted on the walls of the church. (Wikipedia)

We stopped to admire this ancient church as we headed out on our birding tour of Bulgaria. We did not have a lot of time to visit properly as we had a good distance to drive to our next stop.

ENGLISH
Koprivshtitsa is a historic town in the Koprivshtitsa Municipality in Sofia Province, central Bulgaria, lying on the Topolnitsa River among the Sredna Gora mountains. It was one of the centres of the April uprising in 1876 and is known for its authentic Bulgarian architecture and for its folk music festivals, making it a very popular tourist destination.
Koprivshtitsa is one of the most characteristic Bulgarian towns, still preserving the atmosphere of the Bulgarian National Revival period of the 19th century. The town is huddled in the mountain-folds, 111 km east of Sofia. The town boasts a large number of architectural monuments from the period, 383 in all, most of which have been restored to their original appearance. Collections of ethnographical treasures, old weapons, National Revival works of art, fine fretwork, household weaves and embroidery, national costumes and typical Bulgarian jewelry have also been preserved. It was here that the first shot of the April Uprising against the Ottoman domination was fired in 1876.
Since 1965 the National Festival of Bulgarian Folklore takes place approximately every five years in Koprivshtitsa, gathering musicians, artists and craftsmen from across Bulgaria. Featuring thousands of performing artists in a pastoral setting in the hills above the town, the Koprivshtitsa festival is the only significant Bulgarian music event focusing on amateur performances. The majority of authentic Bulgarian village music records released during Communist rule were recorded in Koprivshtitsa by Balkanton during the 1970s and 1980s.

Koprivshtitsa és una ciutat històrica al municipi de Koprivshtitsa, a la província de Sofia, Bulgària central, situada a la vora del riu Topolnitsa entre les muntanyes de Sredna Gora. Va ser un dels centres de l'aixecament d'abril de 1876 i és conegut per la seva autèntica arquitectura búlgara i pels seus festivals de música tradicional, convertint-la en una destinació turística molt popular.
Koprivshtitsa és una de les ciutats búlgares més característiques, encara conservant l'ambient del Renaixement nacional búlgar del segle XIX. La vila compta amb una gran quantitat de monuments arquitectònics de l'època, la majoria dels quals han estat restaurats a la seva aparença original. També s'han conservat col·leccions de tresors etnogràfics, armes antigues, obres d'art nacional, teixits i brodats de la llar, vestits nacionals i joies búlgares típiques. Va ser aquí on es va disparar el primer tret de l'aixecament d'abril contra la dominació otomana el 1876.
Des del 1965, el Festival Nacional de Folklore de Bulgària té lloc cada 5 anys a Koprivshtitsa, reunint músics, artistes i artesans de tot Bulgària. Amb la participació de milers d'artistes en un entorn pastoral als turons de la ciutat, el festival Koprivshtitsa és l'únic esdeveniment musical búlgar significatiu centrat en els espectacles d’aficionats. La majoria dels registres autèntics de la música del poble búlgar alliberats durant el govern comunista van ser registrats en Koprivshtitsa per Balkanton durant els anys 1970 i 1980.
