Bulgaria's unique Alexandrovo Tomb announced European Heritage Label site

The unique Alexandrovo Tomb near the South Bulgarian city of Haskovo was awarded with the European Heritage Label.

Since 2013, the label has been awarded to 60 historical and cultural monuments, which are of fundamental importance for the creation of modern Europe. The tomb near Alexandrovo is the first Bulgarian site to be granted the label.

At an official ceremony in Brussels on 13 June, the European Commission will award the 12 sites selected for 2021 and hand out the official plaques with the label to be placed at the entrances.

With its frescoes, the necropolis of Alexandrovo is one of the jewels of the Thracian cultural heritage in our lands and ranks among the largest structures of this type discovered to date.
