Bakadzhishsky Monastery of the Holy Savior is just above the town of Yambol, on the northern slope of one of the pinnacles hilly area called Bakadzhika. It was built in the Middle Ages and soon became a center of Hesychasm in Bulgaria.

After the defeat of the country in the fight against the Ottoman invaders, the monastery was destroyed. There is evidence that it was restored at the beginning of the XIX century, but after the April Uprising, the monastery was burned.

The current complex was built after the Russian-Turkish war in 1879. The initiator of the construction was made by General Michael Scoble, who offered to local residents to celebrate the victory over the Turks to establish an Orthodox church on the site of the once destroyed.

The first elevated structure became a chapel. Before leaving the city of Russian troops, General donated a new church for the gospel and the cross engraved. Construction was completed Yambol citizens with the financial support of Bulgaria and Russia. The iconostasis for the temple monks have made Russian, banners and icons brought from Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. Inauguration of the Church of St. Saviour took place in 1884.
