Unique Shots of Sunken Thracian Sevtopolis City Made in Bulgaria

Novinite.com, 22 May 2007

Discovery TV channel is filming the sunken Thracian city of Sevtopolis as part of a movie, dedicated to Bulgaria's Thracian Kings' Valley near the town of Kazanlak.

The underwater shoots will be done by a team of Bulgarian divers, leaded by Koliyo Radukov.

Sevtopolis' remains are at a depth of 22-27 meters and the palace of its King Sevt III - 18 meters under the water surface.
Two years ago Kazanlak Municipality launched a project for drawing Sevtopolis city out of the waters of the artificial lake Koprinka. Its execution of the project will cost about BGN 50 M.

The municipality intends to use the sight's uniqueness in order to turn it into an attractive tourist destination.
