In this article, we introduce you to 5 remarkable monuments in Bulgaria that everyone should see. Here they are:
1. The monument "Grandfather Jotso is watching"
We find ourselves again in the Iskar gorge, which we have mentioned more than once. If we exclude the picturesqueness of the gorge and its proximity to the famous Skaklya waterfall and the Vazov eco-trail, some eyes tower over the entire road. The monument is located on the gorge that forms the river Iskar. The beautiful sculpture embodies the Vase character from the story "Grandfather Jotso is Watching". As if perched above the gorge, Grandpa Yotso manages to see the future of his homeland, albeit blind. Vazov's hero symbolizes the light in the human soul, and more specifically the aspiration "To see a free Bulgaria".
2. The monument of Vasil Levski (town of Lovech)
Vasil Levski is a person who has become an idol, and quite expectedly there are many monuments to him in Bulgarian lands. But the one in a city Lovech is perhaps the most impressive! The monument is the largest among Levski's monuments. Part of the architectural-historical reserve "Varosha", the monument is one of the symbols of the city. The sculpture has a height of 14 meters and below it in brass letters is written: "Vasil Levski (1837-1873). If I win, I win for the whole nation, if I lose, I lose only myself."

3. The monument to Petko and Pencho Slaveykovi
The monument is located at the beginning of the Sofia Square of the same name. "Petko Slaveykov" square is the connection between central Sofia streets "Graf Ignatiev" and "Georgi Rakovski". The figures of the father and son are made on an iron bench. This monument is one of the most interesting in Bulgaria, because if you were in a hurry and didn't look, passing through the place, you would think there were living people sitting on the bench! Pencho Slaveykov contributed a lot to the development of Bulgarian literature. He is the founder of modern literature in our country. His father, Petko, is no less important, he contributed a lot to the culture and development of Bulgaria, as a poet, publicist, folklorist and publicist.

4. The Freedom Monument
It goes without saying that Shipka is one of the must-see monuments that everyone should visit at least once! Situated in Stara Planina, and not far from the old capital Tarnovo, the monument immortalizes the feat of those who fell in battle for the freedom of the homeland. Shipka aims to glorify the deeds of all those Bulgarian militiamen and Russian soldiers who lost their lives during the battles of Mount Shipka in 1877. The blood that was spilled in this place made the path to immortality more direct for all those heroes. Whatever can be written about Shipka, it will be insufficient!
