The recently discovered temple found in the Goliama Kosmatka mound dates back to the second half of the 5th century BC.

A few floral elements have been preserved on the marble door of its chamber. These ornaments symbolize the four directions and the life cycle. A unique gold garland was found in the very center of the tomb, as well as a gold wine cup and military equipment. A bronze statue representing the head of king Seuthes III was ceremonially buried in front of the tomb.
