RE: Cycling to Thracian cult complex - Heroon
That sounds like an very interesting bike ride. Thank you for sharing your great photos.
The complex does not look like a tomb area but a preserved park. Inside the tomb looks amusing. Would you know how high is the hollow column? Is there any organization maintaining the area?
Thank you for your comment @macoolette! Glad you like photos of my bike ride!
The tomb height is 5.50 meters - the tomb consists of a 22 meters long corridor and a round chamber with diameter of 11.60 meters.
Pomorie Municipality has the ownership of the tomb. The tomb lands are owned by the Agricultural Academy. Nearby is the Southern Cultures Institute.
Wow, the column is wide. I don't see staircase. I wonder if anyone attempted to climb it?
There was a staircase in the past. The Pomorie Tomb was partly restored in 1957-58.
