Monument of the Red Army "Alyosha"

The Monument of the Red Army “Alyosha” is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Plovdiv. Erected in the 1950s on Bunarjik Hill, the monument honors the Soviet soldiers who fell during World War II. The 11-meter statue of a soldier, known as Alyosha, stands atop a massive granite pedestal and overlooks the entire city, becoming a symbolic part of the Plovdiv skyline. The site is accessible by a scenic walkway and offers panoramic views of the city and the surrounding hills. Today, the monument remains a place of historical remembrance and a notable cultural landmark in Plovdiv.
