Skobelev House is a Revival-period house in Plovdiv, built in 1860 by Kostadin Kaftandzhiyata, a prominent Bulgarian from Stara Zagora. After the Liberation, the mother of General Mihail Skobelev, Olga Skobeleva (1823–1880), lived here until her death. She is known for her charitable work in support of Bulgarian civilians who suffered from Turkish atrocities in southern Bulgaria during the April Uprising and the Russo-Turkish War of Liberation.
In 2003, a permanent exhibition was established in Skobeleva House, dedicated to the work of the renowned Plovdiv artist Georgi Bozhilov – Slona (meaning “The Elephant”) (1935–2001).
Day for free visit: Every first Thursday of the month for students and retired people.
