Buzludzha
Country

I went up to a place that I had been told about, Buzludzha, and it was way, way more than I expected. Wonderful to have something like this that isn't surrounded by people trying to sell you things. I climbed in a bit and had a wander round but was very aware I was alone and didn't want to have a fall so came out pretty quick.

I've added it to the list of places to visit - have a read!

The Buzludzha Monument is an amazing piece of soviet architecture on top of the mountain, built to commemorate the events of 1891, when a group of socialists led by Dimitar Blagoev assembled secretly in the area to form an organised socialist movement that led to the founding of the Bulgarian Social Democratic Party, a forerunner of the Bulgarian Communist Party.

 

Definitely add it to your list of places to visit.
