Just year after the exploration of the Cybele’s temple near Balchik, the archaeologists Igor Lazarenko, Elina Mircheva and Radostina Encheva have found two statues during excavation works. They both represent Cybele and it is presumed that probably they have been possessed by Aphrodite or Dionysus, relief of Thracian horse rider, another relief of three nymphs, limestone plate with relief illustration of lion also.
The temple of -mother was found at April 23rd 2007 during excavations for construction in private terrain. For now this is the one and only temple of Cybele found ever at the eastern part of Bolkan peninsula and probably the best preserved we know.
