Near Kazanlak, close to the ruins of Sevtopolis, the ancient capital of the Odrysians, archaeologists discovered the royal tomb of Seuthes III in 2004. Dating back to the second half of the 5th century, it is one of the most important discoveries in Bulgaria over the last decade.
Archaeologists uncovered a large number of objects made from gold and silver. The size of the tomb and the number of precious objects inside suggest that this was the tomb of a very important Thracian ruler.
