Thracian Tomb of Kazanlak
Discovered in 1944, this tomb dates from the
Hellenistic period, around the end of the 4th century BC. It is located
near Seutopolis, the capital city of the Thracian king Seutes III, and
is part of a large Thracian necropolis. The tholos has a narrow corridor
and a round burial chamber, both decorated with murals representing
Thracian burial rituals and culture. These paintings are Bulgaria’s
best-preserved artistic masterpieces from the Hellenistic period.
