THRACIAN TOMB IN SVESHTARI - BULGARIA
The Thracian tomb of Sveshtari was discovered in 1982 near a village of the same name,
situated in northeastern Bulgaria, 7km away from the town of Isperih.
This tomb, built in the first half of the 3rd century B.C. has a unique architectural design,
colorful half-human, half-plant caryatids and impressive wall paintings.
The 10 female figures carved in the walls of the central chamber and the decoration of the lunette
in its vault are the only ones of their kind found in the former Thracian lands.
