The antique beehive tomb in the town of Pomorie is a cultural monument of national and world significance. It is located among gardens – some 500 m north of the Europe camping area.
It was built back in II – III century and represents an original combination of a typical Thracian beehive tomb and a Roman mausoleum (specialists believe it served as something like mausoleum of a rich Anhiali family).
The tomb reaches 8 m in height and 60 m in diameter. A corridor leads to a vast round premises, in the center of which a hollow pillar is rising, opening in its upper end like a mushroom passing into the walls (therefore some people call the tomb "The Hollow Mound").
The monument is open for visitors in the summer season.
