THE BATTLE OF SHIPKA



This is a memorial of the Battle of peak Shipka (1877). It was an important battle of the Russian-Turkish war, during which Bulgaria got its independence from Turkey.


A little Turkish boy peeks to see the place where they light a fire on important occasions. His family has come to visit the place where their predecessors had fought and lost the war.
The monument was built in 1934.
