Heroes of Plevna, Memorial chapel at Ilyinsky Square, Moscow, Russia

Heroes of Plevna is an octagonal cast-iron pavilion located on Ilyinski Square in Moscow. The structure rises on a low pedestal and features four relief panels set into its lateral faces.

The memorial was built in 1887 by Russian grenadiers to honor their fallen comrades. These soldiers died during the siege of Pleven in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877 to 1878.

The four high reliefs on the sides show a peasant blessing his grenadier son, a Turkish soldier seizing a Bulgarian baby, a grenadier taking a prisoner, and a dying Russian warrior breaking a woman's chains. Cast-iron pedestals in front once held donation cups inscribed for crippled grenadiers and their families. A memorial service is held before the chapel each March 3, Bulgaria's liberation day.

The memorial sits near the Kitay-gorod metro station exit and is easy to reach. The grounds are accessible, and visitors can view and walk around the structure from street level.

The names of the fallen were not cast into the iron: seven bronze plaques inside the chapel listed 18 officers and 542 soldiers killed or dead of wounds. Most of the interior decoration and these plaques were lost after 1917, so the interior stands empty today.
