landmarks

  • An impressive monument is rising in the center of the village dedicated to the ones perished in the wars for national liberation. Its history is rather peculiar. In 1933 the mayor of the village purchased several lottery tickets using official money. One of the tickets turned out to be winning and the mayor decided to build a monument dedicated to the people of Krumovo who lost their lives on the batter field. The construction of the monument was completed in 1937. It is 30 m tall. In its basement there is a water-fountain decorated with a lion's head. Over the fountain rises the pedestal on which a plate is mounted on which the names of all heroes are inscribed. On top of the pedestal a life-sized figure of a soldier staring into the distance is placed.
  • Undoubtedly, the most significant landmark in the area in is the St. Marina monastery. It was founded in the middle of the 19th century, near a spring which the local people believed was curative. In the past, the area surrounding the monastery used to belong to a rich Turkish noble. He decided to build his palace there, but during excavation works while the foundations were to be placed, the workers found a cross on which the name of St. Marina was carved. When the Turkish noble learnt about that a cross was found in the ground he decided that it is a holly Christian place and sold the property. Being convinced that the place is sacred, the man who bought it had donated this beautiful property willing to build a monastery on it. In 1844 a small chapel and two  public baths were constructed by the spring. After WWII the monastery was deserted only to be brought back to life again in the beginning of the 21st century. The chapel and the baths were repaired. Four additional rooms for pilgrims were built with a cook-house. The traditional fair on July 17th /the Day of St. Marina/ which was held there ever since the 19th century was restored. For the local people it is a favourite location for picnics among the peacefulness and the serenity of the surroundings, the lavish greenery and the gentle murmur of the miracle spring telling enchanting stories of ancient times.
