The most popular ancient monument in the Silistra region is the Silistra tomb from the end of the 4th century AD. It is considered one of the most beautiful and valuable monuments in Bulgaria.
One rectangular chamber has decorated walls. The images represent humans, animals and geometric figures. The picture of a family couple and their servants is also part of the drawing. These decorations are almost unaffected by time.
According to researchers, the tomb preserves the remains of a noble Roman pagan. The beautiful decorations and an honorary diploma from the Emperor signify his status.
