Светилище Кози камък, Ancient rock sanctuary near Kovachevitsa, Bulgaria
The stone complex rises 30 meters above ground level and features narrow stairs carved directly into the rock leading to the summit platform.
The sanctuary dates back to the Iron Age when ancient inhabitants created cylindrical holes and ritual spaces in the rocky formation.
The 300 circular holes spread across the main platform form patterns that correspond to the constellations of Cassiopeia and Cepheus.
Visitors can drive to Beslet area from Kovachevitsa village, then follow a wide path through the forest for 30 minutes to reach the sanctuary.
The central ritual space contains a large stone cauldron with a channel system that directed liquids toward the southern rock wall.
