Mother Bulgaria, Veliko Tarnovo, War memorial in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria
The 18.5-meter marble and bronze monument displays a bronze figure of a woman holding a flag at the top, with four soldier statues below.
The monument, inaugurated on May 6, 1935, commemorates soldiers who died in wars from 1877 to 1918, including the Russo-Turkish and Balkan Wars.
The eternal flame at the monument's base represents the citizens' recognition of military sacrifices made for Bulgarian independence and territorial unity.
Located in Mother Bulgaria Square, one kilometer from the city center, the monument stands near the Municipality building and offers benches in its garden.
The garden surrounding the monument contains thirty-one rare plant species, including Indian Lagerstroemia, mimosa, and California cedar, planted in 1936.
