Ivan Vazov (1850–1921) was a Bulgarian poet, novelist, and playwright, often referred to as “the Patriarch of Bulgarian Literature.” His works reflect two important periods in Bulgarian history: the Bulgarian National Revival and the Post-Liberation era. Vazov was awarded the highest honorary title of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Academician, and served as Minister of Education and Enlightenment from September 7, 1897, to January 30, 1899.
The monument to Ivan Vazov is located in the Sea Garden, near the main entrance. Remarkably, it was created and placed while Vazov was still alive.
