Built c. 300 BC, this Thracian tomb lies 2.5 km southwest of Sveshtari village in Razgrad Province, northeast Bulgaria [1]. It is likely the burial place of Dromichaetes, a Getae king who ruled territories on both sides of the lower Danube around 300 BC, and his wife, believed to be the daughter of Lysimachus, a diadochus (successor) of Alexander the Great [1]. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it stands as one of the most significant Thracian burial complexes in southeastern Europe [1].
