Dionysus Sanctuary Photo

Photographer’s Note

This megalithic structure is supposed to be one of the altars of the ancient sanctuary of the God of Wine Dionysus. Remnants of human activity on the hill are dated back 5000 years. It is in the middle of the Rhodopi mountains which are on the border of modern Bulgaria and Greece. On top of the megalithic structures there are many remnants of early Christian churches.

You can see another view of the place in the workshop.

Hallo Anton!
This seems to be a very special place. Your view upward works very well and emphasizes the monumentality of this sanctuary. and it shows so many structures in these rocks.
The combination of picture, ws and note - an interesting contribution in the sense of TrekEarth.
Greetings from autumnal but still sunny Germany!

Zdravei, Tony,
So, isn't this Greece? Usually we think about this kind of ruins in Europe as Greek or Roman. But, of course, they exist in several countries.
I like also the workshop to see the whole area.
Regards, F.
