Mogilanska mound, Ancient Thracian tomb in Vratsa, Bulgaria.
The Mogilanska mound contains three stone tombs, with one tomb housing a chariot, sacrificed horse remains, and numerous burial artifacts.
Archaeological excavations in 1965 revealed multiple burial chambers from the 4th century BCE, containing artifacts linked to the Odrysian ruler Cotys I.
The burial complex demonstrates Thracian customs through discovered items including a gold wreath, ceremonial vessels, and a silver knee pad with goddess depictions.
The artifacts from this archaeological site are displayed at the Regional Historical Museum of Vratsa, which maintains regular visiting hours.
Within the tomb complex, researchers discovered the remains of a young girl wearing a golden laurel wreath alongside what appears to be the oldest chariot in Bulgaria.
