Overview

When tourists come to our country, they always ask why and what the reason is for building the monument, but also what the fate of the people connected with this brutal project is. Immerse yourself in the complete history and architecture of this monstrous and brutal architectural masterpiece of the communist regime.

You will learn why the monument to Dimitar Blagoev, progenitor of the Bulgarian Communist Party, marks the approach to Buzludzha. You will immerse yourself in the history of Bulgarian rebels against the Ottomans and their connection with the partisan movement in Bulgaria. You will not miss visiting even monuments related to the history of the Communist Party and the fate of its rebellious members before it established its dictatorship after 1944. Finally, after all the points are collected, you will find not only an abandoned monument on top of an Eastern European mountain but also all the personal dramas and fates associated with creating this monumental monster.

Buzludzha Monument

During 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.
