3. „St. Alexander Nevsky” cathedral
Location: Sofia
The building of the cathedral was connected to Bulgaria‘s liberation from the rule of the
Ottoman Empire in 1879. After the end of the War , the grateful Bulgarian people wanted
to build a monument to all the brave men, Bulgarian and Russian, who fought and died for
the liberation of the country.
It was decided that a magnificent Orthodox cathedral is what would best embody the
memory of the sacrifice. The construction process took 30 years, as the ongoing wars at
the time delayed the official opening of the cathedral for yet another 12 years, until 1924.

5. The Rila Monastery
Location: In the southwestern Rila Mountains
Rila Monastery was founded in the 10th century by St John of Rila, a hermit canonized by
the Orthodox Church. His ascetic dwelling and tomb became a holy site and were
transformed into a monastic complex which played an important role in the spiritual and
social life of medieval Bulgaria. Destroyed by fire at the beginning of the 19th century, the
complex was rebuilt between 1834 and 1862. A characteristic example of the Bulgarian
Renaissance (18th–19th centuries), the monument symbolizes the awareness of a Slavic
cultural identity following centuries of occupation.

The memorial is devoted to to five-months battles of Russian army during the Russian-
Turkish war 1877-78 as a result of which Bulgaria was liberated from the 500 years of
Ottoman yoke. The Pleven Epopee 1877 Panorama depicts these events combining
painting, plastics and architecture in a whole art work. The combination of the canvas

The Austrian steamship “Radetzky” was built in 1851 in the shipyard “Obuda” - Budapest

the legendary for our history steamship. „Radetzky“ was launched on 28 May 1966 and on
30 May she landed on the Kozloduy’s bank.
