This year, the team exploring the Provadia-Solnitsata archaeological complex is organizing an Open Day on September 22. A new visitor route has been prepared through the complex of the most ancient salt-producing and urban center in Europe.

Those wishing to visit the "first mint" on European lands will be able to explore the archaeological site and hear interesting facts about salt production in late prehistory, about the emergence and development of the settlement. A children's corner will be organized for the youngest visitors. 


Admission is free.
