Kazanlak Tomb

The Valley of the Thracian Kings near Kazanlak is still hiding its secrets from the past. It is assumed that the region has more than 1,500 Thracian burial mounds and at the time are studied only about 300. The most famous tomb is the one discovered in Kazanlak, which is located in the town park „Tyulbeto”. It is simply called the Kazanlak Tomb.  It is discovered accidentally in 1944. From 1979 is included in the list of the World Heritage by UNESCO. The tomb dates from the third century BC. The original tomb stands closed and conserved to be preserved for the centuries to come. Next to it was built a replica, which even keeps track of destruction by the time as the original. There the tourists can come to explore the tomb and its paintings and even to take photographs.
