Thracian Tumulus

Pomorie, Bulgaria

Known as the “hollow mound”, the Thracian Tumulus in Pomorie is an intriguing burial place dating back to the 2nd and 3rd century. Admire the Thracian and Roman architecture as you follow the corridor into the main chamber, where light and darkness meet – a unique cultural highlight in Pomorie.

    Incredibly ancient heritage and it has to be visited by everyone.

    For the price, we got almost nothing. The texts describing the tomb were badly translated and hard to even understand. The tomb itself is entirely reconstructed, almost nothing ancient remaining visible. They even added cheap lights and bad music, which makes the whole expwrience even worse. Nothing to be seen, really, quite pointless.

    Old magical place which is worth to visit. Calm and cool in a hot summer day.

    VERY impressive but I wish they would attend to the access road, parking, weeds and general surroundings to do justice to such a wonderful landmark.

    It's quiet and somehow ignored historical place simply passed by by most of tourists travelling in this area. However this, in my opinion, is a must visit place for intelligent people interested in history. Entrance is 3 leva (less than 2$). If you happen to be near this place (it's just 100 meters from the Pontica coastal highway) don't hesitate taking a brief break and visit that great place

    Clementinum

    The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

    Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
