Kamenica Tumulus, Archaeological burial mound in Mollaj, Albania

The tumulus measures 70 meters by 50 meters in size and contains over 400 graves with 440 skeletons distributed across multiple burial layers.

The central grave of the tumulus dates back to the Bronze Age in the 13th century BC, with expansions continuing through the Early Iron Age.

The site features a museum displaying panels about excavation history and ancient burial practices from prehistoric southeastern Albania.

Located 10 kilometers southwest of Korça, the site includes green courtyards and lime pathways leading visitors to both the tumulus and museum.
