The ancient site of Perperikon in Bulgaria has been featured in a selection by readers of the British newspaper "The Guardian" as one of their favourite archaeological sites in Europe.

"A place for communion between gods and humans through reverence for nature, Perperikon in Bulgaria has been a sacred site since before recorded history, founded by the Thracians in the 5th millennium BC. It is one of the largest fortresses in Europe, where archaeological research is ongoing, but it was almost certainly a place of worship for Dionysus, rivaling Delphi, and later hosted Romans, Goths, and Bulgarians. The ancient water systems and sacrificial rituals fascinated me, while the view of the surrounding forests and the slopes of the Rhodope Mountains was breathtaking," shared a reader named Gergana

Readers of "The Guardian" also shared impressions of several other ancient sites in Europe that left a lasting impression. Among them are the Etruscan settlement of Fiesole in Italy, dating back to the 9th century BC; the archaeological complex of Kourion in Cyprus; the ancient cities of Philippi in Greece and Heraclea Lyncestis in North Macedonia; the Almendres Cromlech—considered Portugal's potential "Stonehenge," and others.
