The Thracian sanctuary near Tatul Village, Momchilgrad Municipality, is one of the most imposing megalithic monuments discovered on the territory of Bulgaria. It lies just 200 m away from the village and approximately 15 km away from Momchilgrad.
The sanctuary is a massive rock structure and its top is a truncated pyramid. A massive wall made of huge parallelepiped-shaped stone blocks was built during antiquity. It is assumed that the tomb is part of a cult complex used for burials for public worship. Some of the servicing buildings and facilities, as well as part of the fortress wall, are preserved. It is supposed that in ancient times astronomical observations were made there.
