Gluhite kamani, Thracian megalithic sanctuary in Eastern Rhodopes, Bulgaria

The rock formation features over 200 carved niches distributed across four massive stone blocks separated by deep natural gorges at 500 meters elevation.

Archaeological evidence indicates the site originated in the Early Iron Age and remained active through antiquity, with a 5th-century church built during the medieval period.

The complex contains trapezoidal, circular, and rectangular niches carved into stone, along with two tomb chambers at the western base of the main rock.

The sanctuary requires a two-kilometer walk on a narrow path from the nearest road sign, with high-clearance vehicles recommended during spring and autumn seasons.

Steps carved into the southern rock face lead to an ancient water reservoir, while excavations revealed marble slabs with inscriptions and coins from the city of Abdera.
