Bunardzhik Hill & Alyosha Monument
Бунарджик / Альоша
An 11-meter Soviet soldier statue on Liberators’ Hill, with 360-degree views of the city and excellent sunsets and night views.
Bunardzhik Hill, also called Liberators’ Hill, is crowned by the Alyosha monument, a statue of a Soviet soldier completed in 1957. It stands about 11 meters tall and is one of Plovdiv’s landmarks, though its political meaning has repeatedly sparked controversy. The summit terrace offers 360-degree views of the three hills of the Old Town, the New Town and distant mountains, making it a popular spot for watching sunsets and the city at night. From the main street, walk west for about 20 minutes, then climb for about 15 minutes. Entry is free.
