Conservation of the 3rd-Century BC Thracian Tomb of Sveshtari
The project, which includes the documentation and conservation of the tomb, directly supports the Embassy's efforts to strengthen shared Euro-Atlantic values and build partnerships to maintain Bulgaria’s western orientation.
Discovered in 1982 near the village of Sveshtari, this 3rd-century BC tomb has a unique architectural decor, with polychrome half-human, half-plant caryatids and painted murals. [Photo credit: Project organizer]
