Thracian tomb Golyama Arsenalka

Golyama Arsenalka mound is a Thracian burial tumulus with a subterranean stone building near the Bulgarian town of Shipka.

It is composed of a representative façade, a small antechamber and a domed chamber.

In the center of the domed chamber there is a circular granite block.

On the floor underneath it is a cavity surrounded by a ring of stones resembling the cult fireplaces in Seutopolis.

It was robbed of its valuables in antiquity, but parts of a gilt breast plate, two small gold ornaments, and bones of horses were found during excavations in the antechamber.
