      Unlike many Bulgarian towns its modernized centre coexists easily with the old quarters, a maze of cobbled lanes where the timber-framed stone houses hide behind thick walls with stout double doors, built to withstand siege. The money to pay for these sturdy dwellings came from a 19th  c. upsurge in commerce, when Bansko was an important way-station on the trade routes linking the Aegean port of Kavalla with the Balkan hinterland. Home to a new mercantile elite, many of whom used their wealth to endow churches  the town became an important centre for icon painters and other craftsmen.
