Angel Kânchev House-Museum
A two- to three-hour walking tour will suffice to see all of Tryavna’s sights. From the bus station, head east (away from the train line) and then turn right along ul Angel Kânchev to reach the impressive St Georgi Church on the left. Completed in 1852, it features some beautiful icons and carvings. Further on the right is the Angel Kânchev House-Museum. Built in 1805, it contains exhibits about revolutionary hero Kânchev, and the liberation of Tryavna during the Russo-Turkish War.

Tryavna Museum School of Painting
Walk over the bridge, past the shady park and head right (still along ul Angel Kânchev) to pl Kapitan Dyado Nikola. First built in 1814 in National Revival–period style, this large square is dominated by a clock tower (1844) that chimes loudly on the hour. Facing this square is Staroto Shkolo, the town’s old school. Built in 1836, it’s now been fully restored and houses the Tryavna Museum School of Painting.
