01. Descriere

This open-air park is dedicated to the Russian general Skobelev, being officially opened on September 3, 1907, in the presence of the Bulgarian king Ferdinand I, as well as numerous high-ranking guests from Russia, ministers, deputies, citizens and guests of Pleven. This park has been declared a cultural monument of national importance. It was created at the initiative of the “Tsar Alexander II” Committee, with Stoyan Zaimov as chairman. It is located on the spot where the troops led by General M. D. Skobelev carried out the heaviest fighting during the third assault on the city of Plevna on December 11-12, 1877. The main entrance represents a stylized cannon. In the center of the park was built a mausoleum with the role of an ossuary, called the Brotherhood Hill, above which are cannons from the Russian-Turkish war, and at the top is located the cross of St. George for bravery. The names of the soldiers in the regiments of the division led by General Skobelev are inscribed in elliptical medallions, and their bones are stored in a polished black granite sarcophagus.
