Svetitsa mound, Archaeological site and museum in Shipka, Bulgaria.
The Svetitsa tomb features stone blocks arranged in a large pit covered with trapezoidal slabs, forming a sarcophagus-shaped Thracian burial chamber.
Archaeologists discovered the tomb in 2004, revealing a complete set of iron armor and artifacts suggesting it belonged to Odrysian King Teres I.
The tomb contains evidence of ancient Thracian burial practices, including wall paintings and ceremonial objects that demonstrate their artistic sophistication.
Visitors can explore the site between 9:00 and 17:00, with entry fees of 6 BGN for adults and 2 BGN for students.
The excavation yielded a 23-carat gold mask weighing over 500 grams, representing one of the finest examples of Thracian metalwork.
