The Thracian Tomb of Sveshtari, located in Razgrad Province, Bulgaria, is an ancient burial site dating back to the 3rd century BCE. Discovered in 1982, this tomb is part of a larger Thracian necropolis and is particularly notable for its unique architectural and artistic elements. The tomb features a central burial chamber with intricate carvings and murals that display both Thracian and Hellenistic influences. One of the most striking aspects of the tomb is the ten female figures, known as caryatids, which are carved into the walls and serve as columns supporting the ceiling.
