The ancient city of Perperikon is located near the town of Kardzhali in the eastern Rhodopes. It rises on a rocky peak with an altitude of 470m. It is thought to have originated about 8000 years ago. Among the Thracians Perperikon was a sacred rock town, a fortress with a royal palace and capital.
Perperikon consists of 4 parts: A powerful acropolis, in the highest part of the hill. Grand Palace sanctuary- located 30 meters below the Acropolis. This is believed to be the temple ensemble of God Dionysus. Northern suburb and Southern Suburb – representing small streets carved into rocks, residential buildings and temples.
This 3D model is a complex of rotundas-mausoleums, similar to the imperial ones. It consists of 8 large mausoleums from the time of the Roman Empire, located amphitheatrically in the southern part of the rock city. The discovery is unparalleled on the Balkan Peninsula. It was discovered during excavations in 2021.
