The #Assumption #Church in the Village of Uzundjovo, #Bulgaria #Haskovo

The Assumption is the largest rural church in Bulgaria. It combines in an amazing way various elements of Christianity and Islam. Built initially as a Christian temple, in 1593 it was destroyed by the Ottoman Empire. A mosque was erected in its place – it was a part of a large estate of caravan seraglio, which according to the chronicles-writers resembled a fortress, whose central entrance is preserved until the present days. In the early 20th century the Turkish government returned the property back to Bulgaria and the reconstruction of the mosque into a church began at that time.

In 2007 the church was thoroughly reconstructed by the Haskovo Municipality. During the restoration works two medieval inscriptions in Arabic on religious-philosophical topics were discovered, but these latter inscriptions have not yet been accurately dated. All the icons and frescoes were restored. The Tryavna painter Master Darin Bozhkov carved a new iconostasis, which by its size ranks among the three biggest and most impressive ones in the country. The windows were decorated with fascinating stained glass works, depicting scenes from the life of the Mother of God.
In the last century the Assumption church in the village of Uzundjovo was proclaimed to be a cultural heritage monument.

PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR SUSTAINABLE TOURISM

ABSTRACT
Sustainability tends to plan the ensuring of future revenue of  the local community through the preservation and proper exploitation of  resources. These, however, are a part of the collective heritage and as such are  not freely available. This leads to an economic gap for the companies involved  in sustainability strategy. This gap can be overcome only through a coordinated  system of relationships between public bodies and private operators, able to  both fairly distribute the "cost" of sustainability beyond the study area, and  to optimize the use of inputs essential to the success of their business. At  this stage a hypothesis of the possible intervention of public bodies is  proposed.
