Memorial Complex Hristo Botev
Hristo Botev is a big deal in Bulgaria. A poet and revolutionary associated with the April Uprising of 1876 (among others), he is considered by many Bulgarians to be a national hero. There are numerous monuments dedicated to his memory throughout the country, but the most impressive is in Kalofer, his town of birth. The complex is in immaculate condition and attracts visitors from all over Bulgaria. Memorial Complex Hristo Botev was completed in 1986 by architects Ivan Nikolov and Luchezar Daskalov, and sculptor Dimitâr Daskalov. The monument depicting the three soldiers, which lists the dates 1923 and 1944 along with 1876, is called the “Three Era” and was added at the insistence of the BCP.
