The memorial house of Tsar Osvoboditel II in Pleven is situated in the house of Vatsovi family.
The house was constructed in the beginning of the Russo-Turkish War in 1877 and 1878. Its rich interior is typical for the revival period style.

Tsar Osvoboditel II welcomes visitors from 9 am to midday and from 1 pm to 6 pm during the summer and from 9 am to midday and from 12.30 pm to 5 pm during the winter. Its days off are Sunday and Monday.
