The Pleven Epopee 1877 Panorama is a monument located in Pleven, Bulgaria, that depicts the events of the Russian-Turkish War of 1877–78, specifically the five-month Siege of Plevna. The monument stands on the actual battlefield, in Skobelev Park Museum, and has four halls: introductory hall, panorama hall, diorama hall, and a conclusion hall. The panorama hall features a 115 m-long and 15 m-wide canvas that shows the dramatic episodes of the Third Battle of Pleven. The atmosphere of the trenches is reproduced at the foot of the canvas with replicas of typical objects and weapons from the period. The diorama hall depicts the last battle for Pleven that took place in the valley of the River Vit on 10 December, 1877. The monument is accessible for people with disabilities and offers guided tours in multiple languages

Activities: We visited the Pleven Panorama, a museum showcasing the history of the Pleven Epopee. We saw a 115-meter-long panoramic painting of the Third Assault, and a diorama of the Battle of Pleven
Highlights: Sтеfi was impressed by the huge painting, but didn't seem to understand the historical context. He enjoyed the diorama, but was more interested in the museum's shop ✨
