Monument to the Tsar Liberator, War memorial monument near National Assembly Square, Bulgaria
The equestrian statue displays Emperor Alexander II on horseback, mounted atop a black granite pedestal with bronze bas-reliefs depicting battle scenes.
The monument commemorates Russian Emperor Alexander II, who led the liberation of Bulgaria from Ottoman rule during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878.
Bronze reliefs around the base feature portraits of military leaders and scenes from the Battle of Stara Zagora and Treaty of San Stefano signing.
