Monument to Vasil Levski, Memorial obelisk in central Sofia, Bulgaria.
The granite monument rises 13 meters high and features a bronze bas-relief of Vasil Levski's head on its pedestal.
The monument marks the location where Bulgarian national hero Vasil Levski was executed by Ottoman authorities on February 18, 1873.
This memorial, unveiled in 1895, represents the first monument dedicated to the Bulgarian independence movement after the country's liberation.
Visitors can reach the monument through the Vasil Levski Square by using public transportation or parking their vehicles in nearby areas.
The monument's construction took 17 years due to financial constraints, leading to protests from Bulgarian intellectuals and writers.
