Ancient temple to the Greek goddess Cybele in Balchek, Bulgaria.
The unique temple of the Greek goddess Cybele in Balchek, north eastern Bulgaria was uncovered by accident in April 2007 during the building of an hotel. The extremely rich temple dates back to the 4th century AD. It did suffer some damage thought to be either from the effects of an earthquake or perhaps by actions of barbarian invaders during the reign of Emperor Valens (364-378 AD), but is still relatively well preserved. A dispute regarding its status on the construction site looks as if it will be settled by it being declared a National Monument.
