National Geographic will make a film about Bulgaria's Perperikon, according to press reports.

The ancient fortress, built some 7 000 years ago, is awaiting the television crew right after Easter festivities.

They will also shoot the Thracian temple Tatul, located nearby.

It lies inside the walls of a Thracian fortress and is believed to have been dedicated to legendary singer Orpheus.
