Bratska mogila, Memorial complex in Plovdiv, Bulgaria
The concrete structure rises 23 meters high with a circumference of 90 meters, designed to mirror the form of ancient Thracian burial mounds.
The monument, inaugurated in 1974 by leader Todor Zhivkov, commemorates partisans who fought against Nazi occupation during World War II.
Inside the circular hall, a 90-meter sculptural composition depicts scenes from Bulgarian history, from Ottoman rule liberation to the Socialist Revolution.
The monument stands at the end of a memorial path in the Park of Recreation and Culture, with access currently restricted except for special events.
The interior features alternating sculptural scenes with stone pillars, including a representation of three giant stone arms in bronze shackles.
