Above the city of Pleven, there is now a peaceful blue sky, and joyful smiles shine on the faces of the residents, but the memory of past events is alive, and no one has forgotten the heroes of the Siege of Pleven. In honor of the Russian and Romanian soldiers who participated in the Russo-Turkish War of the late 19th century, a park was created, named after the Russian general Mikhail Dmitrievich Skobeleva.

Since the grand opening of the park in 1904, it has always been filled with people. Some come here to honor the memory of the past, while others enjoy nature and fresh air. The Pleven Park leaves no one indifferent. At the central entrance, visitors are greeted by a small stone obelisk, and deep within the park stands a bust of the legendary General Skobeleva. The main attraction of the park is the panorama museum "Pleven Epic of 1877."

The panorama museum, like the entire Skobeleva park-museum, is dedicated to the liberation of Bulgaria from Ottoman rule. Its opening was symbolically timed to the centenary of liberation. The monumental architectural structure was created by local architects Plamen Tsachev and Ivo Petrov, and 13 artists from Russia and Bulgaria worked on the exhibition.

The museum consists of four spacious halls. The first hall features paintings depicting the events of the April Uprising in Bulgaria in 1876 and the defense of Shipka, one of the key battles of the Russo-Turkish War. The second panoramic hall is dedicated to the third assault on Pleven on September 11, 1877, a dramatic moment depicted on a giant canvas measuring 115 meters in length and 15 meters in width. The third hall showcases the defeat of the Turkish army near Pleven, while the fourth is dedicated to the surrender of Osman Pasha and the crossing of Russian soldiers through the Balkans in the cold winter.
