Maltepe Mound - 171 m

Bulgaria / Plovdiv / Sadovo /
 archaeological site, tell (mound), Thracian heritage
Located south of the village of Manole, near Plovdiv, it is the largest mound in Bulgaria, at 22 metres high and with a diameter of 90 metres.
Ironically, Maltepe Mound surprised the 16th century treasure hunters just as it did the 21st century archaeologists, and it will probably provide some more unexpected discoveries. Research is ongoing and the site is currently off-limits to the general public.
