Situated on the peak of a rather steep hill, the stone Russian soldier is an official WW2 monument. There has been a monumental statue of some kind here since antiquity (which in Plovdiv goes back eight thousand years). The park leading up to the monument is especially lovely in spring. If you go there by car you can leave your car for free (one hour) in the multi-storey underground parking of the nearby shopping mall (Markovo Tepe).

Monument to Alexandr II, Alexander the Liberator as he is being often called in Bulgaria, is located at the Bunardzhik Tepe Hill. It is a very nice historical place to visit. Walking up the hill might be a challenge, especially in summer.
