A tourism center will be constructed among the remains of the ancient Perperikon, a Thracian complex uncovered in Bulgaria.

Preliminary data shows the project would be worth EUR 2.8M to 3 M that would be allotted under the PHARE programme.
The tourism center will be situated over an area of 1,300 sq.m. and will boast two ground floors. The main exhibition hall would be situated on the first floor. There would also be a conference hall. The entire ancient city would be presented through special holographic methods.
The Fortress of Perperikon is located 20 km north-east of the city of Kardzhali, south Bulgaria. The fortification, which was built in antiquity, had been continuously developed and reconstructed through the Middle Ages.
Latest excavations have confirmed the main version of archaeologists that Perperikon was largely worshipped sanctuary in Ancient times as the most important sanctuary of God Dionyssos.
