In Bulgarian: Ритуални скални ниши »
The Ritual complex of stone niches near village Neofit Bozvelievo are carved in a limestone rock, right of the road between the villages of Neofit Bozvelievo and Lale. There are 11 niches arranged on 2 levels. Two of them (called "acoustic niches") have a very interesting acoustic feature - when a sound is produced they return the echo back in a special way to the person in front of them.
On the hill above the rocks of niches are found traces of a sanctuary, which unfortunately was destroyed in the construction of water supply to the village. In the region were found many ceramic artifacts from the Antiquity.
