We arrived at the archaeological digs site of Perperikon in Southern Bulgaria, parked our car and paid the 1 leva parking fee. There are no other charges to visit this fantastic archaeological site! Even before we began our strenuous walk around this historic site, we could see other archaeological digs being carried out around the bottom of the hill that hid the Holy Town of Perperikon.

a Bulgarian TV Camera Crew reporting on the archaeological site of PERPERIKON southern Bulgaria
We had been invited by our Bulgarian friends to visit Perperikon and they explained to us that even today, the true and original usage of this historic site has yet to be uncovered. It was likened to the stone circle at Stonehenge in Wiltshire UK. We can guess what the sites were used for but the truth must still be uncovered. The Bulgarian News had just been reporting of many more finds of ancient jewellery and other artifacts just being uncovered at Perperikon and we saw many people hard at work.
We read the leaflet to get a rough interpretation of the findings and some of the history of Perperikon then glanced towards the first of many steep climbs up to the Temple.
Below left the first of the steep climbs upto the temple, once over the brow of the hill you can glance back down at the second steep climb!
Working hard at Perperikon archaeological digs site
The first sign of the site of Perperikon to greet us, was what looked liked an ancient wall created from breeze blocks!
As we carried on round we saw a rock face resembling a face, perhaps the ancient King set in stone
A little way on and we approached the room with the best view! Whoever slept in this room must have had a jolly good nights sleep!
There are clearly defined doorways at Perperikon carved into the natural stone still showing signs
of where there was once
the door mechanism perhaps
for a very large wooden door
Also a few structures that were probably burial chambers, although no skeletons to be seen, again you could see 'post' holes perhaps for the wooden tops
Photo above looks like a small chimney, perhaps a bread oven and below resembles an ancient fireplace for keeping the residents warm!
ANCIENT KING
set in stone!
