Buzovgrad Megalith, Ancient megalith in Buzovgrad, Bulgaria

Buzovgrad Megalith is a stone formation near Buzovgrad containing a natural window that allows sunlight to pass through at specific times of year. The opening creates interesting light effects visible throughout the year at different angles.

This stone formation dates back around 4000 years and predates the Thracian civilization that later inhabited the region. The Thracians incorporated the site into their religious and social practices.

Local people gather at the site during the summer solstice to watch sunlight pass through the rock's natural opening. This practice connects visitors to an ancient cycle that has been observed for millennia.

Visitors can reach the site through an ecological path that connects to other historical locations in the area. The path is well-maintained and links several interesting places together.

Researchers continue to debate whether this stone formation served as an astronomical observatory, religious sanctuary, or natural geological creation. This uncertainty makes the site intriguing since no single theory has been definitively proven.
