The Thracian Tomb of Kazanlak

THE THRACIAN TOMB OF KAZANLAK (Kazanlak, Bulgaria)

This vaulted-brickwork "beehive" tomb at Kazanlak in central Bulgaria is part of a large necropolis of more than a thousand royal and aristocratic tombs. Its corridor and round burial chamber are decorated with murals of a Thracian couple at a funeral feast. Dating to the 4th century BCE, it features Bulgaria's best-preserved Hellenistic masterpieces.
