About
快速信息: 踏进低矮的石室,壁画鲜艳的颜色在柔和光线中跳动,人像表情细腻得像能听见他们的低语。别被外表朴素蒙蔽,屋内有数十幅保存完好的中世纪壁画,艺术细节和面部表情常令艺术史学者驻足良久。
亮点: 走进那座不起眼的石砌小教堂,1259年绘就的壁画立刻把圣人和贵族描绘得像活着的人,能清楚看到发丝、瞳孔里的高光和微妙的阴影处理,让人有种在看一张中世纪照片的感觉。 其中一幅描绘塞巴斯托克拉托尔卡洛扬(Kaloyan)与妻子Desislava的肖像极为写实,历史学家常拿它和文艺复兴早期作品比较,而且1979年因为这些壁画被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录。
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for the short but steep uphill path from the parking area.
- Bring a light layer, interiors stay cool year-round and shade is limited outside.
- Flash photography is usually forbidden inside, use a wide-angle lens and steady hands for low-light shots.
- Book a timed ticket online and aim for the first slot to avoid larger tour groups.
