In kaya, Megalithic sanctuary in Vrata, Bulgaria.

The In Kaya complex features massive stone structures positioned across the landscape, with carved tombs and staircases integrated into the natural rock formations.

Archaeological findings indicate the sanctuary dates back to 2000 BCE, with evidence suggesting earlier usage during the Chalcolithic period in the region.

The site contains stone formations used for astronomical observations, with specific alignments marking the winter solstice through carefully positioned stone crevices.

Visitors need to bring water and wear appropriate outdoor clothing as the site lacks facilities and requires walking through natural terrain.

The central structure includes an east-west tomb carved into solid rock, shaped as a truncated pyramid with an adjacent hemispherical depression.
