Asenova Neighborhood, Veliko

Do not miss either the walk around the neighborhood that straddles the river and under the high walls of the fortress on the north side, next to the road that led us to Arbanasi. This neighborhood was inhabited by craftsmen and clerics after the earthquake of 1913. You can see the remnants of the many clerics who inhabited the area due to the number of churches in this small district of Veliko Tarnovo. It was a little after 16:00 h when we went and everything was closed. But it's worth taking a stroll across the bridge to see the lovely Church of St. Demetrius, from 1185, but completely restored in the last century.
