Visitors attend at the a medieval Eastern Orthodox churchChurch of St. Demetriusin southwestern Bulgaria located in the village of Patalenitsa near the town of Pazarzhik. Church of St Demetrius was built in the early 12th century but the church was digging into the ground after the Ottoman conquest of Bulgaria 14th-15th centuries, so that the Ottomans would not desecrate it. According to that story, the church was buried and forgotten about by the villagers until in present days a local man coincidentally rediscovered it while tying his donkey to a nearby cherry tree on top of the hill under which the church stood.
