Remains of St. Ilia Church and Thracian Sanctuary; Late-Antiquity Complex for Ceramics (IV-VI c.), Sv. Ivan area, Bansko

It is located 1 km southeast of Bansko. A Thracian sanctuary from 5th century BC was discovered and Early Christian Basilica from 4th - 6th century AC. In the immediate proximity (300 m) east direction, a rescue archaeological excavation of a ceramic complex was carried out during the construction of a dam. Five furnaces of different architectural type are the largest building ceramics center discovered so far in our lands. They were transported and overexposed in a nearby building whose roof structure and window frames are being broken and only the walls remain. Trees have grown into the building. The location of the finds is unknown at the moment. The access to the site of St. Ilia Church and the Thracian sanctuary is limited by private owners of the neighboring plot, which improperly impede free access to the archaeological site.
