The original of the Panagyurishte gold treasure returns to the town of Panagyurishte on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the April Uprising.

From April 1 to May 17, it will be exhibited in the "Treasury" hall of the city's History Museum, the museum's director, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Atanas Shopov, has told BTA.

Residents and guests of Panagyurishte will be able to see the nine golden vessels in the specially-built hall.

The Panagyurishte gold treasure is an ancient Thracian set of nine vessels, discovered on December 8, 1949, about two kilometers away from Panagyurishte. The vessels are decorated with images of ancient deities and heroes, as well as scenes with mythological creatures.
