Seuthopolis is the ruins of a 3rd-century BC Thracian city, founded by King Seuthes III. It lies beneath the waters of the Koprinka Reservoir, created in the 1950s. The site is accessible via a floating museum platform that sits above the submerged remains, offering exhibits on Thracian life and the city's excavation. Visitors can see reconstructed walls and artifacts recovered from the site. It's a unique blend of archaeology and modern engineering.
