Sarafova mound, Archaeological site in Kran, Bulgaria.
The Sarafova mound features a corridor and two rectangular rooms constructed with processed stone blocks and quality bricks from ancient times.
Excavated in September 1995, this Thracian tomb from the 4th-2nd century BC stands as one of two intact ancient necropolises in Bulgaria.
The tomb walls display intricate decorations with horizontal layers of white, black, red, orange, and yellow colors representing Thracian artistic techniques.
Located 5 kilometers north of Kazanlak, the site can be reached by taking the road connecting Stara Zagora to Kazanlak, Shipka, and Gabrovo.
The discovery of a horse skeleton in the corridor and gilded clay amulets indicates specific burial rituals and spiritual practices of Thracian civilization.
