Thracian sanctuary Cromlech

The site was discovered and excavated by Georgi Nehrizov in around 1998 and it is unique in the Bulgarian lands.

"Cromleh" is a term used in Western Europe to describe a primitive kind of sepulchral monument. The most famous cromlech is Stonehenge, England.

Thracian sanctuary Cromlech consists of several vertical pyramid shaped stone blocks (cromlech), forming a circle with a diameter of 10 meters. It is fenced off from all sides and isolated from external influences. The place was most probably used for ancient religious rituals. Although there are no direct parallels of the megalith there is no doubt about its belonging to the Thracian culture. It is a great example of megalithic construction of cult facilities, typical of the Thracians.
