MEMORIAL
BELL TOWER
It
rises majestically in the centre of the town. One of the first monuments in
honour of the National Liberation in Bulgaria, built in 1878. The advance detachment of General Gourko entered Byala Cherkva on 6 July (24
June old style) 1877. The Russian liberating troops were welcomed by the
population and addressed with a moving speech by Irina Bacho-Kirova. She
started with donations by the Russian officers a fund for the construction
of the monument. The tower is 25 metres high. A clock bought with
money donated by the teacher Yoakim Vassilev was fitted to it in 1929. The
clock still works.
