Pleven, Administrative center in Northern Bulgaria

Located in the Danube Plain, Pleven spreads across limestone hills at an elevation of 116 meters, serving as the seventh largest municipality in Bulgaria.

The Siege of Plevna in 1877-1878 during the Russo-Turkish War lasted five months and led to Bulgaria's independence from Ottoman control.

The Regional Historical Museum holds 250,000 exhibits in 24 halls, presenting archaeological findings from prehistoric times through the present day.

The city maintains regular bus connections to Sofia and Veliko Tarnovo, while also functioning as a major railway junction between Sofia and Bucharest.

The Pleven Epic 1877 Panorama building displays large-scale paintings depicting crucial battles from the Russian-Turkish War through artistic representations.
