The oldest processed gold in the world was found here! This is the Varna Necropolis! Now you can see this gold in Varna's archaeological museum located just next to the town hall building.
Varna Necropolis is the site of some 300 excavated burials from the 5th millennium BC which are said to have once contained the world’s greatest amount of manufactured gold. Today, many findings from Varna Necropolis – also known as the Eneolithic Necropolis – are displayed at the Varna Archaeological Museum.
