Struma's Grave, Archaeological site near Banica, North Macedonia
The burial site contains a limestone structure measuring 2.3 meters in height, 2.4 meters in width, and 4 meters in length near Strumica Municipality.
Archaeological findings suggest the grave dates back to medieval times, with potential connections to the 14th century during King Marko's reign in Macedonia.
Three different legends surround the grave, including tales of King Marko's sister, Prince Perseus, and a Slavic commander's daughter named Struma.
The limestone structure currently requires preservation efforts due to natural deterioration and vegetation growth affecting the nine layers of stone.
The grave features nine distinct layers of carved limestone, corresponding to a legend about Struma being removed from her resting place nine times.
