This study aims to present the state of the preservation of the Seslavtsi Monastery of St.
Nicholas of Myra. The conservation of the cultural heritage is one of the main tasks of the state, as it
is directly related to the building of the national identity of the society and Bulgaria’s image in the
world. The text provides the main terms used in Bulgarian legislation and briefly describes the history
and architecture of the object. The problems and activities related to the preservation of the monastery
were noted and discussed.
