In 1958 and 1959 the tomb was restored. The dromos was restored, the breakthrough of the ring vault was closed. The central hollow column is fortified, parts of the niches are restored, and all the treasures in the tomb have been restored.
It is assumed that at the time the walls were painted,
but today visitors can see only traces of green plaster. The hall, dromos and flanking rooms were plastered with "hot mortar".
Of course, the area is guarded and visitors must entered with a escort :-)
Are there any more ancient ruins near that area? Might be another future post for you to cover :D
I didn't see any guards on the pictures so I just thought it was an open area. Do a lot of tourists visit there often? Thanks for the facts!
Yes, there are ancient ruins, not exactly in this area, but around. I hope to write about them in some other post :-)
The tomb is visited more during the summer season.From October to May the Thracian tomb works only upon a preliminary request.
