The monument stands proudly in a beautiful park in a central location for touring the city of ruse. It commemorates the liberation of Bulgaria and Ruse in particular from the Ottoman 'yoke' in 1877. The statue depicting a woman with a raised sword, faces North towards Russia from where the liberators came. It is part of the design on the city emblem

Nice monument in Ruse. The initial design featured a statue of the Tsar Liberator", Alexander II on top but Ruse people decided to replace it with a statue of a woman, symbolizing freedom. One of the two bronze lions at the base is tearing the yoke chains whilst the other defends the Shield of Freedom.

(Translated by Google) It is a great monument of freedom in Ruse. As far as I know, there is a statue of liberty in New York. Forgive me and some other places in the world where there are monuments of freedom and I do not know. (Original) Супер си е паметника на свободата в Русе. До колкото ми е известно има и статуя на свободата и в Ню Йорк. Да ме прощават и някои други места по света дето има паметници на свободата и не са ми известни.

Very popular area with water features and plenty of seating

Very impressive monument in a massive public space. Plenty of benches to sit and relax.

Very beautiful ! Congratulations Bulgarian People ! Love from Bucharest Romania!

The centre of the city. Must see.

Beautiful, with an interesting history. Restaurants and a fountain nearby.

This monument was erected in 1909, I believe. It's located in a beautiful downtown park. Beware of your surroundings, as there are gypsies downtown even at early hours.

Great square. Really nice views.

The monument is located in the center of Ruse and is surrounded by two lions. It is easy to find and you can check the rest of the architecture and landmarks in the area.

Iconic place in the city centre of Ruse or the Bulgarian Vienna as they call it. Chill park like area with loads of benches for a few beers and snacks with good company.

Impressive monument located in a lovely park that is well maintained and tasteful. It's in the very center and surrounded by bars and cafes

A tidy and modern town square full of cafes and bars to sit and watch the world go by. As you move out if the square you enter the old town of narrow streets and old buildings with a mixture of origins just 500 metres from the River Danube

Great place and great monument. The park where the monument is placed is very clean. The atmosphere is nice.

It's just nice being here

(Translated by Google) Every time, after leaving Happy, I enjoyed an ice cream or a banitsa in this beautiful park. It's nice to sit on a bench and watch the beautiful artesian wells, which cool off the hot summer air, as well as the people who walk relaxed, the mothers with strollers with the little ones, the children who frolic at will, or the grandparents with grandchildren who eat ice cream. . But what gives greatness to this park, but also to the city of Ruse is the Freedom Monument that rises majestically over the park. The Freedom Monument was built in 1908 by the Italian sculptor Arnoldo Zocchi. The huge column rests on a base with a pyramidal structure and represents a woman holding a sword in her left hand, and with her right pointing to the place where the liberators come from. At the base are two cannons and the two imposing lions, which flank the great edifice. One of the lions breaks the bronze chain with his teeth, and the other defends the sword and the shield of freedom. The image of these lions, which offers a strong eye contact, made this monument become the symbol of the city of Ruse and part of its coat of arms. All those who visit this beautiful city on the Danube, please stop in this park and in front of this great edifice that commemorates those who fought for the liberation of Bulgaria. (Original) De fiecare dată, după ce ieșeam de la Happy, savuram o înghețată sau o banitsa în acest superb parc. Este plăcut să stai pe o bancă și să privești frumoasele fântâni arteziene, care răcoresc aerul canicular de vară, precum și oamenii care se plimbă relaxați, mămicile cu cărucioare cu cei mici, copiii care se zbenguie în voie, sau bunici cu nepoți care mănâncă înghețată. Dar ce îi conferă măreție acestui parc, dar și orașului Ruse este Monumentul Libertății ce se înalță maiestuos peste parc. Monumentul Libertății a fost construit in anul 1908 de către sculptorul italian Arnoldo Zocchi. Coloana uriașă se sprijină pe o bază cu o structură piramidala și reprezintă o femeie care ține o sabie în mâna stângă, iar cu dreapta arată către locul de unde vin eliberaratorii. La bază se găsesc două tunuri și cei doi lei impunători, care flancheaza mărețul edificiu. Unul dintre lei rupe cu dinții lanțul din bronz, iar celalalt apără sabia și scutul libertății. Imaginea acestor lei, ce oferă un puternic contact vizual, a făcut ca acest monument să devină simbolul orașului Ruse și să facă parte din stema acestuia. Toți cei care vizitați acest frumos oraș de la Dunăre, va rog să popositi în acest parc și în fața acestui măreț edificiu care îi comemorează pe cei ce au luptat pentru eliberarea Bulgariei.

The Monument of Freedom is the symbol of Ruse, a real piece of Rennesaunce art

Love my hometown ❤️

One of the most beautiful monuments.

The essence of our town

A very beautiful, modern and peaceful place. Lots of trees and fountains giving a bit of fresh during Ruse summer heat (up to 38/40 degrees!!). At night you can even hear the cricket, lovely when your room oversees the square.

Peace and freedom of the area

Really Nice Place

Perfect place for rest or meeting with some friends. The Monument of Liberty is the symbol of the town. Ruse is so charming!!!
