Tutrakan

Pretty European-style house from the late 19th century. Exhibits include Stone Age tools, finds from the Roman fortress, early 20th century life in the town, and the Battle of Tutrakan.

An ethnographic museum about fishing and boat-building in the area through the ages, as well as the everyday life of people by and on the river in the past. Tools, explanations of fishing methods, and even the kinds of fish.

Another pretty old European-style building. Unsurprisingly, most of the paintings are river landscapes. It's also used as a ceremonial hall for officiating weddings and other secular ceremonies.

Parts of the northern wall and a square tower of the Roman fortress, with some conservation/restoration work done. Integrated in the riverside park as a viewing platform.

An actual 19 m craft on a concrete plinth. Erected by the Communist regime in 1984, for the 40th anniversary of the visit of Soviet armoured river gunboat No. 214, commanded by Hero of the Soviet Union, Captain Pavel Derzhavin. Its mission was to get food for the Soviet troops massed across the river for the invasion of Bulgaria, making the crew the first Soviets on Bulgarian territory in WW2. The actual boat on the monument is unrelated - it's just a post-war, Soviet-made torpedo boat of the Project 123-K class, decommissioned from the Bulgarian Navy.

Old town church dedicated to the patron saint of sailors and fishermen. It's a three-nave church with a dome, completed in 1865, and contains wood carvings by masters of the Tryavna School. Functioning Orthodox temple, so mind your behaviour.

Pretty standard war memorial with slabs of names of the soldiers from Tutrakan killed in the Balkan Wars and World War I and II. Not to be confused with the memorial complex at the Military Cemetery!

Both individual and collective graves of Bulgarian, German, Romanian and Turkish soldiers who fell in the Battle of Tutrakan. There are several monuments from different eras (the earliest - from 1922, with inscriptions in four languages), old cannons, and a chapel of St. George (dedicated in 2007). Since April 2024, there's also a small on-site museum exhibition with 3D maps and various "digital immersive experiences". One of the 100 National Tourist Sites of Bulgaria. The cemetery is also used for anniversary commemorations and re-enactments, so don't be alarmed if you see armed people in odd military uniforms if you show up in the beginning of September.
