Village Tatul

The village of Tatul is located in South-Central Bulgaria in Eastern part of The Rhodopes mountain. It is included in Municipality Momchilgrad (Kardjali District) and is 15 km east of town of Momchilgrad. Most of the houses were built of well-cut stone blocks.
In the 2000s Bulgarian archaeologists discovered an ancient Thracian surface tomb and sanctuary in the immediate proximity of the village of Tatul, and it was soon recognized as an exclusive religious centre in the region of importance to the whole region. It is thought to date from around the 2nd millennium BC.
As the conservation of the site began shortly after the excavations started, it is developing as a tourist destination, with the infrastructure being renewed and created and the Tatul Thracian complex already welcoming tourists.
