==Landmarks== The medieval fortress of Asara, built in the 11th and 12th centuries, is situated near the neighboring village of Zvezdel. It once served as a defensive structure for the nearby Zvezdel mine, where gold and silver were extracted. Significant finds at the site include distinctive medallions, which were part of an icon decorated with gold leaf, discovered within the chapel.
