Almost all landmarks there are related to the Russian-Turkish War of Liberation and to the siege of Pleven-probably the most decisive episode of the War of Liberation from Ottoman rule. In the centre of the town are located the Mausoleum-Charnel House dedicated to the Russian and Romanian soldiers killed during the war and The Museum of the Liberation of Pleven.

One of the biggest panoramas in the world is constructed in Pleven. The Pleven Epopee 1877 Panorama depicts the five-months battles during the Russian-Turkish war 1877-78 as a result of which Bulgaria was liberated from the 500 years of Ottoman yoke. Through its original combination of artistic paintings, sculpture, authentic articles and explanatory texts, it provides for a sufficiently clear idea of the development of the events, especially those related to the third assault of the town.
The illusion effect (perspective up to 12km) is impressive and takes the visitors back in time, carries them into another reality. The spectator finds himself in the middle of the battlefield - attacking Russian regiments, smoke from shells, doctors and nurses, counter-attacking Turkish cavalry, fires burning in the town, the Russian General Skobelev leading the attack against the Turkish fortifications ...
It was painted by a team of 11 Russian and 2 Bulgarian artists.
