The ruins of this old temple make for a great foreground element for astrophotography and dramatic sunsets if you happen to have one.

Photography Tips

Bring your tripod for good sunset shots, but try to do it before they start the artificial lights that surround the church. If you bribe the guard with a few bucks they don't light up and you can shoot astro.

Hey, I've noticed 5 people have bookmarked this spot. Most of the time I live in Plovdiv, so if someone is coming over talk to me so we can have beers.
