Светилище Гарванов камък, Thracian megalith sanctuary near Starosel, Bulgaria

The Raven Stone Sanctuary consists of several wind-shaped rocks with carved steps and ritual beds positioned around a central stone altar.

The sanctuary formed part of a larger Thracian complex spanning 30 square kilometers, functioning as both a religious center and astronomical observatory during the Late Iron Age.

The stone formations contain geometric shapes connected to solar and lunar observations, reflecting the Thracian understanding of celestial movements.

Visitors can reach the sanctuary through a 30-minute walk on a sandy path from Starosel village, though no directional signs mark the route.

Archaeological findings include numerous ceramic fragments around the stone structures, indicating the presence of ancient priests performing fertility rituals.
