The place is magic. You can feel the strong energy of the ancient times encapsulated in it. I can not help but compare it to the pyramids in Egypt. Although the place is much much smaller in size the stone blocks that were used to build it are massive and weigh around 300 kilos each. It is truly astonishing what methods they used 25 centuries ago to move and lift them as high as 10 meters. The cone shaped ceiling and round room are truly mind blowing. Everything is built with such precision and each stone is chiseled to perfection. I spent about 20 minutes in this room as I could not believe the complexity and level of detail that our thracian ancestors achieved when building that place. Truly a work of art. The choice of the location is also very good with its wide view of the thracian valley. Needless to say I recommend everyone to visit this monument and spread the word of its greatness.

Amazing place. The energy that you feel when you are there is indescribable. The temple is 25 centuries old. Everything is authentic. The tour guide is great. You should definitely visit it if you have a chance.

Wonderful views from the hill, it's impressive. Good place to enjoy and relax. It was closed when we went, but the nature surrounding is really inspiring.

The Thracian Cult Temple in Starosel is an absolute gem. The temple's intricate designs and beautiful location in the Bulgarian countryside make it a must-visit destination for history and architecture enthusiasts. The relics on display provide valuable insights into the Thracian civilization, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

It was a great experience. You are getting closer with nature and if you get to see it up close, you know what it is.

The Thracian Temple Complex in the Chetinyovata Mogila, at a distance of 4km from the village of Starosel, was found in 2000. It has a statute of a group archaeological monument of culture. This is the oldest ever found royal Thracian complex with a mausoleum. It dates back to the end of the 5th and the beginning of the 4th century BC. The Thracian Temple Complex at Starosel covers six underhill temples, four of which are unique, as well as a few royal burials. The entire hill is surrounded by a wall made of processed granite blocks. The wall is called krepis and outlines a circle which according to the Thracian religious believes symbolizes the Sun. The entrance of the temple has a parade staircase and two pedestals, on which statues of lions were sitting. The staircase leads the visitors to a flat platform, used for ritual dances. A corridor leads to the real facade of the temple and to the round hall containing 10 decorative semi-columns and tryglyphs (a rectangular plate above each column) with blue and red decoration. Religious ceremonies, related to the cult to the Mother Goddess, her son the Sun and Orpheus were performed in the temple.

One of the relatively well restored and maintained place. I wish there were more signs which is where when you park your car at the parking, but we found out way around (I guess).

Loved it. Its really interesting to see how people thousands of years ago have built something so magnificent.

I found this place breathtaking. Beautiful views - you could see for miles, I felt so relaxed just watching the day go by. It's such a special piece of history that has been uncovered. It's a special story behind it. It was interesting to hear the stories that happened..

Amazing place! Makes you wander why 2500 years ago people did make the effort to build such temples with all the craft, time and efforts needed to last for the centuries to come!

The guided tour was excellent- the guide was kind and knowledgeable and answered my 9 year old's many questions. It is a nice place. I recommend parking down at the foot of the hill and walking to the tomb on foot.

It's a place that will astonish everyones understands. There's enough parking space for everyone who intend to visit the place.

Nice place with long history. Beatiful countryside.

Nothing special outside. Possible have something interesting inside the temple

The temple is worth visiting. Unique of its kind around. Not too much historical info though.
