With boldness and astonishing courage, he persuaded the Turks to believe he was invincible from a knife and a bullet. This is the people's protector, the glorious Kyr Blago Todev. A hitting group of offenders came to Bansko, set fire to several houses and kidnapped two boys from Baryakovi' family for a ransom. The terrified parents immediately sought the help of Kyr Blago, who summoned a large band, and attacked the robbers with the captured boys. But then they arrested and tortured him. At the prison of Nevrokop, he was thrown as a raving old man, instead of big and strong as before. He was tortured inhumanly. The gold of his influential brother, Kyr Nichola, managed to release him and return to Bansko, where he did not find rest from the torture until he died. The remains of Kyr Blago Todev were transferred to the quiet and cozy courtyard of the great St. Trinity Church in Bansko. Here on the memorial plate is written:

"Under the stone rests the body of God's slave Blago Lazarov Todev died in the summer of 1862."

The tower is also visited by Levski.
