Lonely Planet review for Benkovski House
Built in 1831 on a southeastern hillside, Benkovski House is associated with the dashing Georgi Benkovski (1843–76), a rebel cavalry commander who led many successful battles until dying in a Turkish ambush. Above the house, and easy to spot from the village centre, is a huge equestrian statue of Benkovski on horseback; climb up to it for the excellent views over the entire valley.
