Паметник на българските опълченци, Monument to Bulgarian volunteers in Sofia, Bulgaria
The Monument to Bulgarian Volunteers stands on a stone base with four decorative plates displaying names of soldiers and battle scenes from the Russian-Turkish war.
Built in memory of Bulgarian volunteers who fought against Ottoman forces in the Russian-Turkish War of 1877-1878, leading to Bulgaria's independence.
The monument features traditional Bulgarian military symbols and architectural elements, reflecting the national identity of the late 19th century.

Four bronze reliefs on the monument depict actual battle scenes where Bulgarian volunteers participated, based on historical documentation and witness accounts.
