TOURIST SITES

The village was foundede by the wealthy Turkish bey Ali whose house is still preserved in the village. That's where the house's name comes from - "The house of Ali bey". The house was built in 1851 and has the typical architecture from the late XVIII-XIX century.

There is a hunting base in Nanovitsa which is one of the most preferred destinations for those who like hunting. Fisherman can take advantage of the dam next to the village bearing the same name.

In the village of Tatul situated about 5 km west of Nanovitsa is located the archaelogical landmark "Orpheus' sanctuary" in the Kaya basha area /translated from Turkish - Stone head/. The sanctuary was started in the late Bronze Age. Archaeologists believe that 3,500 years ago the rock near Tatul was revered as heroon - sanctuary of the deified after his death Thracian king. Orpheus' sanctuary was known throughout the world both before and after Christ. Upon the adoption of Christianity in the Rhodope Mountains at the end of IV century the rich complex was converted into a secular estate. It existed up to XI-XII century, when it became the property of the famous Byzantine Palaiologos family to become today one of the most remarkable architectural sites of our times.

Between the villages of Neofit Bozvelievo /3 km in the south/ and Lale /5 km in the south-west/ is situated a ritual complex of 11 rock nicheson two levels. Two of them /called the acoustic niches/ have a very interesting feature in the production of sound to echo back in a special way to the standing in front of the niche.

The natural phonomenon "Petrified forest" located in the settlement of the village of Raven is an interesting site. It is located in a deep valley called by locals "Gabaz dere." The site was declared protected in the "natural landmark" category. It represents fossilized trees and is about 30 million years old. During the summer months, the "Petrified Forest" is often visited by biologists, naturalists and eco-tourists.
