The town of Momchilgrad lies 15km to the south of Kurdzhali, in a valley of the Vurbitsa river. The town lies in the crossroads of the main road from the Bulgarian town of Smolyan to the Turkish town of Odrin and the one connecting Kurdzhali to Gyumurdzhina.
The small town is not a popular tourist destination for the lack of major tourist sights, but its neighbourhood, and particularly the village of Tatul (8km to the northeast of Momchilgrad), draws to visitors. About 200-300m. to the south of the village, archeologists have found an interesting fortress erected over a rocky mount. The fortress has man-made walls to the north and west, and is naturally protected by vertical rocks to the east and south. The fortress is thought to have been built during Thracian times and reconstructed during the Middle Ages. It was surrounded by a settlement during the Middle Ages, as inferred by remains of house foundations beneath the mount, glass decorations and ceramic vessels. Within the fortress, the only building that is partially preserved is a trapezium-shaped tower the ground-floor of which used to serve as a water reservoir.
The most interesting remain within the fortress is a Thracian sanctuary, dedicated to the famous Thracian singer, Orpheus, according to a renowned Bulgarian historian, Ivan Venediktov. The sanctuary, deemed to date back to the 12th century BC, represents a big rock where worshippers have dug two rocky cemeteries, 8 stairs, and a niche for laying a ritual plate.

Tatul (Bulgarian: Татул, the local name for Datura stramonium) is a village in Momchilgrad municipality, Kardzhali Province located in the Eastern Rhodopes in southern Bulgaria. It is lies at 319 m above sea level at 
41°33′N 25°33′E, 15 km east of Momchilgrad, and as of September 2005[update] has a population of 189 people. Most of the houses were built of well-cut stone blocks. / 41.55°N 25.55°E
In the 2000s Bulgarian archaeologists discovered an ancient Thracian surface tomb and sanctuary in the immediate proximity of the village, and it was soon recognized as an exclusive religious centre in the region of importance to the whole region according to head archaeologist Nikolay Ovcharov. Latest archaeological finds date the earliest settlement to 4000 BC. According to Ovcharov, the site is the sanctuary and tomb of an influential Thracian leader who was deified after his death. He also links it with the cult of Orpheus[1]. The ancient sources describe the ritual of burying leaders overground, on the top of a hill (as opposed to in a mound), as extremely rare, mentioning only Orpheus and Rhesus as two of the leaders who were buried this way[citation needed] and as Orpheus was buried[2][3][4] in Leibethra close to Olympus,Greece it only leaves Rhesus as a candidate though both of the characters are mythological and may have never existed.
Around 30 clay altars and other items from the 19th-18th century BC have been excavated, as well as an idol, a nude male figure from the Iron Age, proving the sanctuary was used without interruption in the period. A stone wall was erected surrounding the hill between the 4th and the 1st century BC, and the temple was constructed shortly thereafter, with the religious complex gradually expanding and the religious activity worshipping the man buried in Tatul shifting to the mausoleum that was built. Several new buildings were constructed in the 2nd-3rd century AD and the Christianization of the Rhodopes in the late 4th-early 5th century resulted in the conversion of the complex into a local ruler’s domain featuring a defensive tower. The complex also suffered from two earthquakes, once in the 12th century BC and once in the 14th century AD.
As the conservation of the site began shortly after the excavations started, it is developing as a tourist destination, with the infrastructure being renewed and created and the Tatul Thracian complex already welcoming tourists.
