Standart News

The team of archeologists led by Ivan Hristov from the National Museum of History ran into the ruins of an early Christian church lying at some 2km to the north of the largest Thracian sanctuary that of Chetinyova Mogila, near the village of Starosel.

Dr. Ivan Hristov is viewing one of the stone blocks of the temple at the Kozi Gramadi archeologic site.

The church was obviously a part of a larger complex which suggests a monastery was functioning there. The newly found church is the sixth one unearthed in the vicinity of the villages of Krasnovo and Matenitsa.

The Christian monuments situated on the southern slopes of Sredna Gora Mountains that was sacred to the Thracians in the past were built on the spots hiding pre-Christian mound and rock sanctuaries.

Archeologist Ivan Hsritov believes that when in the 4th century the Thracians converted to Christianity they kept the memory of their sacred sites and revived the region to new spiritual life.
