More about the Buzludzha Monument
Among Bulgarian sights, there is one listed among the most beautiful spots in abandoned state within the world. That is the Buzludzha monument on the peak formerly called by the same name, now Hadzhi Dimitar peak. It was a commemoration of the founding of the socialist democratic party in 1891. The monument was erected in 1981, a century later.
It is a massive round structure, with a towering concrete pylon. Initially inside the decorations comprised mosaics panels showing milestones of socialist Bulgaria development. Each year to this day, on the first Sunday in August, socialist party members hold a commemorative event.
Unfortunately, after 1989, the monument was subjected to vandalism, with the mosaics gone, the windows broken, although in 1992 it was locked and sealed by the state. Not only does the Buzludzha monument belong with the most beautiful abandoned spots worldwide, but in 2013 it ranked first among those spots. More about the history of Buzludzha monument
