The Ushakov Monument at Cape Kaliakra was erected in 2006 on the initiative of the "Society of Friends of Russia in Bulgaria" and executed by the Bulgarian sculptor Nikola Bogdanov. As early as 1968, Bogdanov created a 3 meter high base relief at Cape Kaliakra with the Cyrillic inscription "Ф.Ф.Ушаков. 1791 g.". The 6 meter high white concrete statue (total height of the monument is 8 m.) stands on a rock about 70 meters high. The monument was dedicated to the 215th anniversary of the victory in the naval battle of Kaliakra on July 31st. / August 11, 1791greg. in which a Turkish fleet was defeated by Russian warships under Admiral Fyodor Ushakov during the Russo-Turkish War of 1787-1791.
