Nochevo sanctuary, Rock sanctuary in Nochevo, Bulgaria.
The rock-cult complex features multiple trapezoidal niches carved into the stone formations along the mountainside of Eastern Rhodopes.
Ancient Thracians established this sacred site, carving ceremonial niches and creating sharapani for grape processing during their settlement of the region.
The sanctuary includes numerous caves and rock carvings that demonstrate the religious practices and wine-making traditions of the Thracian civilization.
Visitors can park near the town hall and old school building, then follow marked trails through pine forests to reach the archaeological site.
The complex contains multiple sharapani, ancient wine-pressing facilities carved into rocks, alongside mysterious drawings whose meanings remain unknown.
