Nebet tepe is one of today's six hills, preserved up to the present day, around which Plovdiv was built. Together with Dzhambaz tepe and Taksim Tepe, the ancient city was situated.

The archaeological complex "Nebet tepe" is recognized as a monument of culture of national importance. It reveals the remains of the first prehistoric settlement of the Triangle, dating back to the Stone Age (IV-III millennium BC).

The name Nebet is a result  from the Turkish words "nevbet", ie. "Guard" and "tepe" - "hill". It is supposed that during the antiquity of the hill was the garrison that guarded the ancient city.

Another name of the hill is "Museum's Hill", which is related to the most talented student of Orpheus - Thracian Museum. Later, the name Evmolpia was used, which the ancient authors called Plovdiv.
