Village Zasele

The village of Zasele is located in South-West Bulgaria. It is part of Svoge Municipality, Sofia District. Zasele has old history. First known inhabitants of the territory of today’s Zasele village have been the Thracians (most likely from the ancient tribe Serdi, 12th-7th century BC). From this period are discovered five small Thracian stone tombs, which nowadays locals call "Butzite". The tombs were 3 by 3 meters wide, with some burial ceramic artifacts inside. Unfortunately, three of these Thracian tombs have been destroyed; the two preserved are in the village neighborhood - Ravnishte.
In the first decade of the 20th century as a result of a new administrative reorganization the villages of Zasele, Zimeviza, and Zanoge are combined into one county with center Zimevica. In the thirties the villages became again administratively independent.
