The Monastery "Saint Petka Muldavska" is situated on the southern slope of the Rhodope Mountains above the village of Muldava at a distance of 4 km from Asenovgrad. According to a legend the monastery is established during the Second Bulgarian Kingdom and is burned down during the Ottoman invasion. Written evidence for the monastery is preserved from XVI c. in documents in Asenovgrad. There is precious data for its history in the inscriptions on the monastery. The monastery has been rebuilt in 1716. Afterwards, in 1821, it is burned again and later restored in 1833-1836. The monastery's church is painted in 1840 by the Tryavna artists Krastyo Zahariev and his sons Peter and Georgi. The murals of the monastery's church are of great artistic value. They are a rare and high-quality example of the monumental art of the Tryavna masters. The murals are interesting both with the rare scenes and images and with the stylistic characteristics as well. The iconostasis of the main church is new but the icons on it are old. Most of them date from 1837. The building of the holy spring chapel is painted by other master artists in 1888.
