Shushmanets tomb

Shushmanets tomb

Thracian tombs / Valley of the Thracian Kings

A temple-tomb with a column in the middle of its round chamber, unique in Thrace. Opened in 1996.

The mound hides a 4th-century BC temple with an antechamber and a round chamber whose dome rests on a Doric column at its centre. The walls were painted and the doors were double-leaf stone. The Shushmanets–Griffins–Helvetia group is visited on one ticket and makes the easiest half-day 'walk through the valley'.

Good to know:

1 km from Shipka town on a gravel road; follow the 'Thracian tombs' signs.
