The ceremonial opening of the monument to Tsar Ivan Alexander next to the Rusokastro fortress will take place on September 1, 2024 at 12:00 p.m. The three-meter monument of the great Bulgarian ruler is the work of the sculptors Atanas Stoyanov and Daniel Kanchev and has already been placed next to the historical fortress.
It is a symbol of the important role of Tsar Ivan Alexander in Bulgarian history and emphasizes the importance of the Rusokastro fortress for the great victory over the Byzantine troops in 1332, led by Emperor Andronikos III Palaeologus.
The construction of the monument was carried out by an initiative committee with members: Zhelio Vardunski – Mayor of Kameno Municipality, Prof. Maria Neikova – Regional Governor of Burgas Region, Rusi Kurtlakov and Dr. Milen Nikolov – Director of the Regional History Museum – Burgas.
The financing, secured in less than a week, is thanks to the donations of Yancho Prodanov – a farmer from the village of Polski Izvor, Kameno municipality, and Rusi Kurtlakov. The ceremony will be attended by representatives of the local and regional authorities, historians and public figures.
Kameno Municipality thanks everyone who supported this patriotic cause!
