Last week I visited the museum in Perushtitsa.

After having seen the Red Church and the church that was attacked by the Ottoman army, it was interesting to see the museum that talks about these two things.

The museum also describes the general history of the city of Perushtitsa.

The museum in Perushtitsa. The canon is a replica on one that was used to defend the city in the late 1800's, particularly in the uprising against the Ottoman rulers.

A few of the paintings that were taken from the Red Church to preserve them.

An impression of how the Red Church may have looked liked.
