The village would be 17 000 sq m big and would be located in the Dulboki Dol region above a rocky sea coast, Dnevnik daily announced.
The plan would be realised with the collaboration of Turkish Pinarhisar municipality. The first part of the project would contain information about the culture of Thracian people that lived in the region.
The Thracian village would comprise of 13 two-level buildings. In the forest a temple would be build with a ritual alter, together with a house for the ruler and a few houses for his close associates.
Small houses with yards would be constructed near the sea coast.
The north and south border of the village are to be enclosed with a fortress wall.
