Skobelev Park, Urban park and war memorial in Pleven, Bulgaria.

The park spans across a valley containing military exhibits, memorial sites, walking paths, and green spaces for recreational activities.

Established in 1904, the park stands on the battleground of the 1877 Siege of Pleven, where General Mikhail Skobelev led Russian forces.

Nine common graves and an ossuary within the park contain the remains of 6,500 Russian and Romanian soldiers from the Russo-Turkish War.

Visitors can explore the displayed Russian cannons arranged in batteries, walk through maintained paths, and access the Pleven Panorama museum.

The park occupies Martva Dolina, meaning Dead Valley, named after the numerous casualties during the third assault of the siege.
