Thracian tomb of Aleksandrovo

In 2001 Bulgarian archaeologist Georgi Kitov led a rescue excavation of the tomb, discovering a round chamber of about 3 meters (9.8 ft) in diameter, accessible through a small antechamber and a tunnel, approximately 6 meters (20 ft) long.

Both the antechamber and main chamber are decorated with well-preserved frescoes that reflect the artist's knowledge of Late Classical and Early Hellenistic art.

[2] The fresco in the main chamber depicts a hunting scene where a boar is attacked by a mounted hunter and a naked man wielding a double-axe.

[6] Nowadays, the original tomb has been preserved and closed for visitors but exact replica was built and presented in The Museum Center of Thracian art in Rhodope Mountain.

In 2021, The tomb and The Museum Center of Thracian art in Rhodope Mountain was awarded European Heritage Label and became the first Bulgarian site to receive the honor.
