The Monument to the Unknown Warrior is located just next to the Church of St Sophia. Commissioned to architect Nikola Nikolov and sculptor Lyubomir Dimitrov, it was unveiled in 1981 to celebrate 1300 years since the establishment of the Bulgarian state. The monument also features a lion chiseled out by sculptor Andrey Nikolov in 1933 as the symbol of the Bulgarian state and its courageous warriors.
