Buzovgrad Megalith, Ancient megalith in Buzovgrad, Bulgaria

The stone formation near Buzovgrad contains a natural window through which sunlight penetrates during specific astronomical events throughout the year.

Dating back to 2000 BC, this megalith preceded the Thracian civilization and later became a significant structure for their religious and social practices.

Local residents gather at the site during summer solstice to observe the sun rays passing through the rock formation's window.

Visitors can reach the megalith through an ecological path established in 2014, which connects to several historical sites including the Buzovo Kale Fortress.

Scientists continue to debate whether the megalith served as an astronomical observatory, a religious sanctuary, or a natural formation shaped by geological processes.
