The Utroba Cave, also known as Womb Cave, is an ancient cave sanctuary in Kardzhali Province, Bulgaria. Located in the Eastern Rhodope Mountains near the Ilinitsa village, the cave resembles a human vulva and dates to the Thracian period. Historians believe that it was once used as a fertility shrine. It is known in Bulgarian as Utrobata (Утробата, Bulgarian pronunciation: [oˈtrɔbɐtɐ], lit. 'The Womb') or Peshtera Utroba (Пещера Утроба, [pɛʃtɛˈra oˈtrɔbɐ], 'Womb Cave').
