Bulgaria was the home of a myriad of ancient civilizations. The Thracians, the Greeks, the Romans and the Ottomans. However the city of Perperikon deep in the Rhodopes Mountains, is one site that evokes from an era of Mythology and magic. The walls are said to have been constructed by the Cyclops and at the temple altar Alexander the Great met the Oracle who told him he would rule the world and she also foretold of the coming of the Roman Empire. It is believed to be the location of the legendary Temple of Dionysius, because of the numerous ancient wine amphora's uncovered in recent archaeology digs. The site was eventually abandoned forgotten by time. A Christian Temple was built on top of the ancient ruins, until the old city was discovered during excavation work in the early 2000's. Most recently archaeologists have discovered 80 medieval tombs at the site dating back to the 12 century AD. Bulgaria is a diverse country of Mountains, Beaches, Ancient History and wonderful food and cities. So do consider Bulgaria as a country for Land and Property Investment.
