Monument of Liberty, Freedom monument in central square, Ruse, Bulgaria

The Monument of Liberty features a female figure holding a sword, with two bronze lions at the base representing the breaking of chains.

The monument was erected in 1909 through public donations of 150,000 leva, replacing an initial plan to commemorate Russian Tsar Alexander II.

The structure incorporates relief sculptures depicting resistance scenes, while the female figure points toward the direction of national liberation forces.

Located at Freedom Square with coordinates 43.848694, 25.953472, the 17.8-meter monument stands as a central reference point for navigation in Ruse.
