The renaissance Holy Trinity Church in Bansko and especially its rectangular belfry have become a symbol of this picturesque mountain town in Bulgaria. Bansko is one of the most attractive and modern ski resorts in Europe, but in the same time the town captivates with well-preserved cultural and historic heritage. The church was completed in 1835. It was a result of long standing efforts by the local patriotic Bulgarians. The belfry was added later in 1850. It was also built with the efforts and money of the local Bulgarian citizens. With its height it symbolizes the renaissance of the Bulgarian spirit during this period.

This museum is dedicated to the prominent Bulgarian renaissance enlightener Neofit Rilski. The display has been arranged in his birth-place house, located right in the old town of Bansko, opposite of the Holy Trinity Church and its impressive tall belfry. The house is also known as Beninata Kashta / the House of the Benin Family as the father of Neofit Rilski - priest Peter descended from the well-known local Benin family. The house was converted into a museum in 1981. It is included in the 100 National Tourist Sights of Bulgaria. The museum is opened every day from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. There is a two hour mid-noon break from 12:00 am to 2:00 pm.

The museum dedicated to the prominent Bulgarian poet Nikola Vaptsarov represents an interesting display related with his life and works. The museum was founded in 1953 in his native house. The mother of Nikola Vaptsarov herself took part in the process of arranging the displays and decorating the interiors to make everything more authentic. On the initiative of the well-known Bulgarian cinema director Valo Radev a small hall for lectures and film-shows was added in the 1990s.

The present-day church dates back to the 17th century but most probably was built over the foundations of an earlier medieval church. It has a small size. Its body is half sunken into the ground and it looks even smaller from outside. The church has no dome and no belfry. This modest architectural plan was needed as the Ottoman government in the period did not allow the erection of large and tall Christian temples. In spite of this the interiors of the church feature a true wealth of very interesting and well-preserved wall paintings. Some of them are unique and that's why the church has been included in the UNESCO list of world heritage sights.
