The biggest settlement mound ever discovered in Europe is situated near the village of Karanovo, Nova Zagora district.
Seven distinct archaeological layers make up the mound, giving information about the evolution of civilizations. Evidence shows that the region has been inhabited for more than 4000 years.
Scientists prepared the Karanovo chronological system, a benchmark method for the comparison of ancient European cultures.
Some of the discovered artifacts have been displayed in the specially constructed edifice near the mound.
