An unknown church, which has not been mentioned in the plans of the medieval town of Cherven in today's Rousse region, has been discovered by archaeologists from the Regional Museum of History in Rousse.
The church dates back to the 14th century and is situated on one side of the fortress gate, 6 meters wide and 13 meters long. The dimensions and the way of construction define it as one of the most representative temples on the territory of the medieval city. From the northern side of the church building, as well as in its interior, four burial chambers have been revealed. Many fragments of frescoes have also been revealed in a variety of color shades that have once decorated the walls of the building.
This year's excavations are attended by students from the UK and Bulgarian volunteers.
