About Karanovo Mound and Nova Zagora History Museum

The Karanovo mound near the village of Karanovo, north of Nova Zagora, is a settlement mound about 12 metres high, built up over thousands of years of living on the same spot. It gave its name to the Karanovo culture, a Neolithic culture of the 7th–6th millennium BC and one of the most important of the Balkans.

The Nova Zagora History Museum shows finds from the mound and the region, and a reconstructed Neolithic house stands at the site.
