Proviralkyata, Megalithic sanctuary in Lilyach, Bulgaria
Proviralkyata is a megalithic sanctuary in eastern Bulgaria, composed of large stone structures and spiritual elements arranged across the landscape near Lilyach. The complex combines naturally occurring boulders with intentionally placed stone features that together form a recognizable whole.
The megalithic structures date from ancient times and reflect building methods used by early communities in the region across many centuries. This sanctuary demonstrates the long-standing importance of sacred spaces in the development of the area.
The sanctuary's name reflects the spiritual importance this place once held for the people of the region. Today, visitors can observe how natural stones and carefully positioned structures together create a space where ancient beliefs were likely expressed and practiced.
The site can be reached on foot and is open to exploration throughout the year, with several pathways leading to the stone formations. Wear comfortable shoes as the terrain is uneven and the structures spread across a larger area.
This location blends natural rock formations with deliberately constructed features in a way that remains puzzling to visitors today. The exact purpose behind this combination continues to intrigue researchers who study the site.
