Visit the impressive war monument and military cemetery of Slavin, dedicated to the 6,845 Soviet soldiers who died in battle for the city.

Built in 1960, situated high upon Slavin hill overlooking the castle, this is a place where history and beauty meet. The star of the show is the central obelisk topped with an 11-meter tall statue of a victorious Soviet soldier with a flag.

Escape the hustle of the city and walk around the peaceful green park of the cemetery while admiring spectacular panoramas from one of the highest points in the city.

This national monument is a special place to visit and every year on April 4th, there is a celebration and tribute for the fallen soldiers.
