The exposition at the Historical Museum in Byala presents events related to the Russian-Turkish War of Liberation. The two-storey building of the museum, once functioning as a Turkish dwelling, carries the Revival spirit and is the work of Bulgarian masters.

The Byala Bridge is situated at the northeastern part of the town of Byala, Ruse Municipality. It was built over the Yantra River in 1865-1867 on the orders of Mithat Pasha, Vali of the Danube Vilayet. Its construction was necessitated by the new road crossing the Yantra River at the town of Byala which connected Ruse, the main town of the Danube Vilayet, with Tsargrad, the capital of the Ottoman Empire. Polish engineer Lyudmil Rola who was in Mithat Pasha’s employment demanded to be paid 3 million groschen in order to build the bridge, while master Kolyu Ficheto, the most famous master builder from the Bulgarian Revival Period, agreed to construct it in exchange for 700 000 groschen and he put his honour and life at stake.
