Skobelev Park

Skobelev Park, Museum park and war memorial in Pleven, Bulgaria

Skobelev Park is an urban park and war memorial in Pleven's valley featuring military exhibits, memorial sites, and walking paths through green spaces. The grounds display Russian cannons arranged in battery formations and house the Pleven Panorama museum, where visitors can learn more about the siege.

Skobelev Park was laid out between 1902 and 1907 and officially opened in 1904, created by the Committee of Tsar Liberator Alexander II on the battlefield of the fighting of 30 August 1877. It is named after General Mikhail Skobelev, whose detachment attacked during the third assault of the Siege of Plevna in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878. In 1977 the Pleven Panorama museum opened on the grounds.

The park was created by the Committee of Tsar Liberator Alexander II in memory of the Russian soldiers who died in the fighting of 30 August 1877. It is named after General Mikhail Skobelev, whose detachment fought in the third assault. Visitors can see Russian cannons placed in batteries and the ossuary and communal graves of the fallen.

The paths throughout the park are well-maintained and easy to walk, allowing visitors to explore major sights without difficulty. Plan extra time for museum visits and exhibits to fully grasp the military history on display.

The park and the adjacent Dead Valley appear as numbers 4 and 170 on the list of historical monuments of the 1877–78 Russo-Turkish war published in State Gazette no. 93 of 2 December 1969. In 2004 the park was struck from the register of protected areas because it is a man-made landscape, yet it stayed under the monuments law.
