Aladzha Monastery is situated in a beautiful area 7 km north of Gloria hotel, near Zlatni Pyasatsi Resort (Golden Sands Resort), in the centre of Zlatni Pyasatsi Nature Park (Golden Sands Nature Park). There are no reliable historical records as to when the monastery was established, but there is evidence that it already existed in the 10th – 12th centuries.

Aladzha Monastery is one of the few cave monasteries in Bulgaria where the different premises and their functions are clearly distinguishable.
A group of caves known as the Catacombs is located about 600 – 700 m to the west of the monastery.

A unique audio-visual show called Legends of Aladzha Monastery has been taking place in the monastery since 2009.

The visitors of the monastery can also take a tour in a museum of miniature models. Souvenirs and information materials are sold there.
