The Belogradchik Rocks
The Belogradchik Rocks are a group of bizarre sandstone and limestone rock formations, reaching up to 200 m in height. They form a strip, which is 30 km long and up to 3 km wide, and are located north of the western slopes of Stara Planina, near the town of Belogradchik in Bulgaria. The formations are a product of erosion.
The rocks were declared a natural landmark in 1949 and consist of four independent groups. Every distinct rock is named after an object it is believed to resemble and the formations vary from red through yellow to grey in colour. The Belogradchik Fortress uses the rocks as part of its defenses.

The Panagyurishte gold treasure is a Thracian treasure excavated in 8th of December 1949 three brothers – Pavel, Petko and Michail Deikovs worked together at the region of “Merul” tile factory near the town of Panagyurishte, Bulgaria.

All of the objects are richly and skilfully decorated with scenes of Thracian myths, customs and life. It is dated from the 4th-3th centuries BC, and is thought to have been used as a royal ceremonial set by the Thracian king Seuthes III. As one of the best known surviving artifacts of Thracian culture, the treasure has been displayed at various museums around the world. When not on a tour, the treasure is the centerpiece of the Thracian art collection of the Plovdiv Archaeological Museum.
