Thracian Tomb of Sveshtari, UNESCO archaeological tomb in Malak Porovets, Bulgaria

The tomb consists of a long corridor leading to three chambers built entirely with white limestone blocks, measuring 7.5 meters in length.

Discovered in 1982 within the Ginina Mogila mound, the tomb dates from the third century BCE during the Thracian period of Bulgarian history.

The burial chamber features ten carved female figures, known as caryatids, holding their arms upward to support the ceiling in Hellenistic style.

The tomb remains open to visitors throughout the year as part of the Sboryanovo Archaeological Reserve, with guided tours available through local agencies.

The interior walls display ritual scenes depicting a ruler on horseback followed by two weapon bearers, representing the deification process.
