Kudepsta Stone

The Kudepsta Stone is a sandstone megalith located near the Black Sea coast. The monument features two carved recesses that resemble seats and face a specific direction along the landscape.

The stone dates to ancient times and may have served as a gathering place for ritual activities or ceremonies. Archaeological finds around the site suggest a lengthy period of human use.

The stone structure contains specially designed seating areas that suggest its function in tribal leadership ceremonies or religious practices of ancient communities.

The stone sits in an outdoor area beyond the main residential buildings of Kudepsta, reachable on foot in about fifteen minutes from the village center. Plan your visit during clear weather when the ground is dry and the path is easy to walk.

The two carved recesses are positioned to align with the sun at a significant time of the year. This precise positioning suggests that the people who made this stone understood the movement of the sky.
