Ref Number: 27
To honour the battle site, a mausoleum of King Vladislav Varnenchik (Ladislaus III Jagello) was erected in 1935, and it later became the core of the Museum of Comradeship in Arms, which was founded in 1964.
The magnificent park, which includes the Museum, the Mausoleum, and a 4th century Thracian tomb, is located on 2.6 hectares in the northwestern portion of Varna.
The tomb houses a replica of the king’s sarcophagus, the original of which is housed in Krakow’s Vavel Cathedral. A statue of Janos Hunyadi faces the mausoleum. Sarcophagi of deceased warriors from the six countries are nearby.
The Museum’s lobby is accentuated by Comradeship-in-Arms, a massive battle-scene mural painting. It honours the idea of comradeship-in-arms, which arose from the shared struggle against the Ottoman conquerors, by depicting combatants from the six countries.
The primary hall of the exposition houses weapons and accessories from the 15th century, the majority of which were discovered near the battle site. Other exhibits are on display from museums in the six countries participating in the 1444 Battle of Varna.
The second hall is dedicated to Janos Hunyadi and has a replica of his sarcophagus, his bust, a horseman statue, battle flags, and records from the great warrior’s life
