Buzludzha Monument
Central Stara Planina, Kazanluk, Bulgaria, 6100During Soviet times, the elite decided to build a brutal architectural monument, the House-Monument of the Bulgarian Communist Party, which was completed in 1981, only to demonstrate the might of its party. It was opened as a citizen-funded tribute to the socialist movement in the country. Since Bulgaria’s transition to a market economy, it has been vandalised and abandoned, haunted by winds of change and hopes never met. However, a new architectural project offers an opportunity for the monument to be restored while also telling stories about its heritage, history, and artistic visions of the present and future.2 hours • Admission Ticket IncludedView Location5
