One of the biggest temples and tombs in the area. You can see a long distance all around the surrounding countryside. There is lots of information about the and it's history and discovery. Really amazing. It is small but I could have stayed there and enjoyed it for hours. The place is just extraordinary and the area around it is gorgeous! It was exhilarating to be in such intimate closeness to an ancient sacred place. I do feel that some extra effort can be made for an exhibition type of setting. I hope they get funding to further support and protect this national treasure! The Thracian Cult in Starosel is an absolute gem. The temple's intricate designs and beautiful location in the Bulgarian countryside make it a must-visit destination for history and architecture enthusiasts. The relics on display provide valuable insights into the Thracian civilization, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended! Amazing place. The energy that you feel when you are there is indescribable. The is 25 centuries old. Everything is authentic. The tour guide is great. You should definitely visit it if you have a chance. One of the relatively well restored and maintained place. I wish there were more signs which is where when you park your car at the parking, but we found out way around (I guess). The Thracian Complex in the Chetinyovata Mogila, at a distance of 4km from the village of Starosel, was found in 2000. It has a statute of a group archaeological monument of culture. This is the oldest ever found royal Thracian complex with a mausoleum. It dates back to the end of the 5th and the beginning of the 4th century BC. The Thracian Complex at Starosel covers six underhill temples, four of which are unique, as well as a few royal burials. The entire hill is surrounded by a wall made of processed granite blocks. The wall is called krepis and outlines a circle which according to the Thracian religious believes symbolizes the Sun. The entrance of the has a parade staircase and two pedestals, on which statues of lions were sitting. The staircase leads the visitors to a flat platform, used for ritual dances. A corridor leads to the real facade of the and to the round hall containing 10 decorative semi-columns and tryglyphs (a rectangular plate above each column) with blue and red decoration. Religious ceremonies, related to the cult to the Mother Goddess, her son the Sun and Orpheus were performed in the temple. About the Thracian Cult Complex in Starosel The Thracian Cult Complex in Starosel is one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Bulgaria, featuring a large and royal tomb from the late 5th century BC. Its well-preserved stone architecture, ritual stairways and striking hilltop location make it a remarkable window into Thracian spiritual life. Professor Georgi Kitov was the archaeologist who led the excavations at Starosel. He was known for his extensive work on Thracian culture and for uncovering some of the most significant Thracian burial sites in the country. Great historical complex - a must see. A bit of a pity that in the last year's there were practically no big investments. There is a parking place, if you leave your car there you need to walk hard 10 more minutes, but actually... there is a road to the top, no need to leave your car on the parking... however there are no signs!!! Too hot, take water with you :) No shop around. Place is nice, no gide you need to read, walk, look and learn by yourself. Anyway it’s not a bad place, idea is good and place is important... but still not good organized Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
