Thracian tomb of Sveshtari is situated 2.5 km south-west of the village of Sveshtari, 42 km north-east of Razgrad, in the north-east of Bulgaria.
Discovered in 1982, this 3rd century BC Thracian tomb reflects the fundamental structural principles of Thracian cult buildings. The tomb has a unique architectural decor, with polychrome half-human, half-plant caryatids and painted murals. Ten female figures are carved in high relief on the walls of the central chamber and the decorations of the lunette in its vault are the only examples of this type found so far in the Thracian lands. It is a remarkable reminder of the culture of the Getae (also known as Dacians), a Thracian people who were in contact with the Hellenistic and Hyperborean worlds.
