Mitrovica Rock Sanctuary is situated on an imposing rock top, on the eastern bank of Mesta river, with easy access by road to Ribnovo town. The sanctuary is multistage and cult sites are developed in height. On penultimate site today is chapel of St. Dimitar – Mitrovica, which has inherited ancient Thracian cult monument and has been celebrated to this day. In its lower part, it also had an architectural part that was severely damaged by a treasure hunter's invasion. There is a stone mound of considerable size, serving as an altar. Particularly dry masonry, construction of mortar solder, fragments of Roman building ceramics. Ceramic pottery dates back to the pre-Roman, Roman and late antiquity epochs. The open gifts places indicate that it is a sanctuary of the Great Goddess, probably Demetra. Unfortunately, this unique ancient Thracian cult monument is destroyed by treasure hunters.
