Kapinovski manastir (Kapinovo monastery)
view of courtyard from upper level gallery
Kapinovo, Bulgaria
Wooden galleries give access at two levels to interior konak spaces that include a domed chapel. Above the monastery entrance stair a large open čardak (chardak) projects into the garden, facing south toward the church to the right of this view. Whitewashed walls, dark woodwork, and clay roof tiles constitute the exterior palette of the konak buildings.
