The village of Kovachevitsa is located in the Western Rhodopes, 23 km from the town of Gotse Delchev and 120 km from Blagoevgrad.

The village arose after 1656 during the attempts to convert the Bulgarian population to Islam in the Rhodopes, which in search of salvation settled in the more inaccessible parts of the mountain.
The local people were engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry. During the Revival (XVIII - XIX century) Kovachevitsa was an educational center. The village was also one of the centers of the Internal Macedonian-Edirne Revolutionary Organization at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century.

Due to its typical architecture in 1977 in issue 73 of the State Gazette the village was declared a historical and architectural reserve. The typical two-storey and three-storey houses with protruding upper floors were built in the 18th century. On the ground floor of the typical Kovachev house were the rooms where the animals were kept and the food was stored. The living quarters were located on the upper floor.

Among the interesting sites to visit in the village is the church "St. Nikola ”, which was built in 1847. In 1900 a four-storey bell tower was built next to it.

The village of Kovachevitsa is a suitable destination for lovers of rural tourism and tranquility.
