Archaeological Site of Leptis Magna
Leptis Magna was expanded and embellished by Septimius Severus, who was born here and later became Roman emperor. It was one of the most beautiful cities in the Roman Empire, with magnificent public monuments, ports, markets, warehouses, shops and residential areas.
Painted Churches in the Troodos Region
The area features one of the largest complexes of churches and monasteries in the pre-Byzantine Empire. The complex consists of 10 World Heritage-listed monuments, all richly decorated with frescoes that showcase Byzantine and post-Byzantine painting in Cyprus. The complex includes small churches, whose rustic architecture contrasts with their elaborate decoration, and monasteries such as the Monastery of St. John Lampadistis.
Thracian Tomb of Kazanlak
The tomb was discovered in 1944 and dates back to the Hellenistic period at the end of the 4th century BC. It is part of a large Thracian necropolis near Theutopolis, the capital of the Thracian King Theutes III. The domed tomb has a narrow corridor and a circular chamber, both decorated with frescoes representing Thracian funeral rites and culture. The paintings are the best-preserved masterpieces of Hellenistic art in Bulgaria.
