Stone Wedding, Megalithic sanctuary in Medovo, Bulgaria

Stone Wedding features towering rock pillars and weathered stone columns scattered across a sprawling landscape, with some reaching heights around 10 meters. These natural formations create a dramatic panorama of basalt and stone structures that have taken shape over millions of years.

These stone formations emerged about 40 million years ago through volcanic activity in the region. Since then, water, wind, and erosion have continuously shaped the structures into their present-day form.

Local tales tell of a wedding party turned to stone when a father grew envious of his son's bride, leaving only the groom who begged to join them.

The site is accessible from the nearby village of Medovo and can be explored on foot. Visitors should wear suitable footwear and be prepared to walk across uneven terrain.
