Cherepish Monastery, called Virgin Mary’s Assumption has been lying for centuries hidden amidst soaring grandiose crags on the right bank of the Iskar River. The reverent Paisii of Hilendar writes in his “Slav-Bulgarian History” that the monastery has been thoroughly renovated at the end of the 16th century and the early 17th century by the renowned Bulgarian ecclesiastic, builder and painter Pimen Zograf of Sofia.
