Located next to the early Christian church "Sveti Sofia," it holds great cultural significance. The monument includes a symbolic grave, an eternal flame ignited from Shipka, and a lion statue, all symbolising national pride. It hosts state ceremonies, notably on national holidays such as March 3rd and May 6th. Open throughout the year, it is free of charge and easily accessible via public transport, situated in a historically rich part of Sofia, making it a compelling visit for history enthusiasts.
