Tatul Sanctuary (Bulgarian: Светилище Татул) is located 15 km (9.32 miles) east of the town of Momchilgrad near the village of Tatul, southern Bulgaria. This Thracian structure is also known as Orpheus' Sanctuary and dates back to the 5th - 4th centuries BC. It is considered to be the second most significant megalithic structure in eastern Rhodope Mountains. Scientists believe this structure was dedicated to Orpheus, while many legends proclaim that he is buried there.[1]
