Near Perushtitsa and ~15 km southwest of Plovdiv we pedaled across the attraction 'The Red Church' (Bulgarian: Червена църква, Chervena tsarkva.
In the Internet we found out:
The Red Church is a large partially preserved late Roman (early Byzantine) Christian basilica, dating to the late 5th–early 6th century. It is a rare example of solid brick construction in a church from Late Antiquity in Bulgaria, and it was the red colour of the bricks that gave the church its name. A number of researchers have suggested that its original name of a church was "Virgin Mary", due to the widespread cult of God's mother during the early Byzantine period...
The golden rays of the evening sun bathed the brickstone walls in a warm light and made the sight even more admirable 😍
