Shipka Monument

The other three walls of the monument bear the names Shipka, Sheynovo [bg] and Stara Zagora – the battlefields in defense of the Pass.

On the ground floor under a marble sarcophagus, rest the remains of Shipka's defenders.

The other seven floors of the museum display personal effects of the soldiers and volunteers, medals, photos, weapons and documents related to the battles fought over Shipka.

The highest platform of the Liberty Memorial offers a beautiful panoramic view of the surroundings.

The Ottoman unblocking army of Süleyman Hüsnü Pasha failed to come to the rescue and the Siege of Pleven ended in victory.
