Doctors’ Garden

Between Oborishte and Shipka streets in Sofia, Bulgaria’s capital, is the Doctors’ Garden. The SS. Cyril and Methodius National Library and many of the city’s historical landmarks and governmental institutions are all within a short distance of the building.

There is a memorial to the Russian Red Cross workers who fell in the battles of Pleven and Plovdiv during the Russo-Turkish War, and the park is named for them. A Russian architect of Czech ancestry, Antoniy Osipovich Tomishko built the monument between 1883 and 1884.
