The Thracian Tomb of Svestari (Свещарска гробница, Sveshtarska grobnitsa) is southwest of the village of Sveshtari, Razgrad Province, which is northeast of Razgrad, in northeast Bulgaria. The tomb is probably the grave of Dromichaetes (; c. 300 – c. 280 BCE) who was a king of the Getae on both sides of the lower Danube (present day Romania and Bulgaria) around 300 BCE, and his wife, the daughter of King Lysimachus (Greek: Λυσίμαχος, Lysimachos; c. 360 – 281 BCE) who was a general and diadochus (i.e., "successor") of Alexander the Great. The tomb is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Read more on Wikipedia
