“A monument”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2012 NEW

Something you see in passing---not particularly beautiful, and rather small. Certainly not worth a special trip. More

“In memoriam of a national hero”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2012

The monument takes place in the centre of Bulgaria's capital Sofia. It is placed to honour one of the most famous Bulgarian revolutionists. It's obelisk shaped stone structure with bronze bas-reliefs showing the revolutionist's portrait. It is near saint Alexander Nefski cathedral so it is a good stop for the lovers of history. More
