It is the most famous medieval rock monastery on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, inhabited by hermit monks in the 13th – 14th centuries. The monastery premises are carved on two levels into an almost 40-meter-high limestone cliff. On the first level are the monastery church, the monastic cells, the refectory and the kitchen, a small cemetery church, the crypt (ossuary) and the farm premises. The second level is a natural rock niche, at the eastern end of which the monastery chapel is built.

Aladzha Monastery is one of the few rock monasteries in Bulgaria, where the individual rooms with different functions are clearly distinguishable. The park itself, in which the monastery is located, is a pleasant place for a walk. In addition to the monastery itself, you can also visit the museum in it, see icons and church paraphernalia, parts of the floor mosaic of the early Christian basilica and learn more about the history of Aladzha Monastery.
