Cave or Rock Shelter in Bulgaria
Sanctuaries in 7-meter long, small natural cave. The earliest ceramic fragments date from the late Chalcolithic period and the latest from the 1st and 2nd c. CE. The entrance to the cave could be closed with a door as the threshold and grooves are still recognizable in the rocks. The two terraces hewn in the rocks outside the cave, one being circular, indicated the site had an astonomical purpose.
The remains of the biggest ancient Thracian city which had its flowering between the 6th and 1st cenury BCE lies below this sanctuary.
