Nowadays, tourists visit the shrine to learn more about the deeds of the saint, enjoy the beautiful architecture of the monastery and the unique murals of the icons. There are especially many pilgrims during the feasts of the saint: July 1 - transfer of St. John of Rila from Tarnovo to the monastery, August 18 - date of the death of the saint and October 19 - transfer of the relics from Sredets to Tarnovo.

At first glance, the building strikes with its beauty: openwork arches, colorful frescoes with the faces of saints and scenes from scripture, covering the entire interior, including transitions and domes, carved gate of the 14th century, a tower with a chapel.

Rila Monastery is the most famous spiritual center of Bulgaria, one of the largest functioning monasteries for men in the world. It is located in the northwest of the Rila Mountains in the valley of the Rila River at an altitude of 1150 m above sea level. To the monastery leads quite a steep winding road, which ends with a flat area. Once on it, tourists as if enter another world: they see an impregnable fortress, where in the center, surrounded by a colonnade, stands a church. Rila Monastery was built on the place of the death and burial of John of Rila, one of the patrons of the country. The monastery has the status of stauropegial: the cross was erected on it by the patriarch himself.
