Levski was also among the founders of the the Bulgarian revolutionary central committee run by Bulgarian emigrants in Bucharest.
The revolutionary was captured by the Ottoman authorities in the Kakrina inn near Lovech on 27 December 1872.
He was first taken for interrogation to Veliko Tarnovo and then sent to Sofia where he was tried and sentenced to death.
Levski was hanged on 18 February 1873 at the gallows in the then surroundings of Sofia, which is now the site of his monument in the centre of the capital.
