Rosehip. Freedom Monument on Mount Stoletov., 1957
Freedom Monument at Shipka Pass. The memorial to those who died for the liberation of Bulgaria during the defense of the Shipka Pass in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78 is located on Stoletov Peak (named after one of the leaders of the defense of Shipka, Major General N. G. Stoletov) towering over the pass. The monument was unveiled in 1934. It was built according to the design of architect Atanas Donkov and sculptor Alexander Andreev with donations from the Bulgarian people. The memorial is a stone tower in the form of a truncated pyramid 31.5 m high. A giant bronze lion, 8 m long and 4 m high, is located above the entrance to the tower, and the figure of a woman symbolizes the victory over the Ottoman troops. On the first floor there is a marble sarcophagus with the remains of several of those killed in the defense. There are four more floors, where an exhibition of Bulgarian military flags and other relics is located. Every August, a historical reconstruction of the events of 1877 is held near the monument. An important part of the event is a memorial service for the Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Romanian and Finnish soldiers who died here, as well as the Bulgarian militia. They are given military honors, state leaders and the people of Bulgaria lay wreaths of fresh flowers at the monument on the top of the hill as a sign of their gratitude.

Chapel-mausoleum "St. George the Victorious", 1957
The chapel-mausoleum of St. George the Victorious in Pleven was built in 1903-1907 under the supervision of the architect Pencho Koychev. The building is made in the neo-Byzantine style, and its architecture resembles both ancient Russian churches and the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople. The interior was created by a large group of Bulgarian artists and sculptors. Above the entrance is a symbolic statue of St. George the Victorious by sculptor Zheko Spiridonov. St. George is slaying a snake, on whose forehead a Turkish crescent is visible. At the end of the spear is an Orthodox cross. The carved iconostasis by Bulgarian master Ivan Tryvnishkov is made of linden and decorated with gilding. Even before the completion of the temple, the iconostasis received recognition in 1906 at the World Exhibition in Paris. The cherub figures are the work of Bulgarian sculptor Marin Vasilev. The wall frescoes were created by artists Anton Mitov and Ivan Markovicka.
