🎧 Listen to Introduction
This Thracian tomb from the 3rd century BC, discovered in 1982 near the village of Sveshtari, reflects the basic structural principles of Thracian religious architecture. The tomb has a unique architectural decoration with colorful half-human, half-vegetal caryatids and painted murals. The 10 female figures carved on the walls of the central chamber and the half-moon decoration of the chamber vault are the only such decorations found so far in the Thracian region. According to ancient geographers, it is a significant relic of the culture of the Getes, a Thracian people who had contact with the Hellenistic and Thule worlds.
