Buzludzha Monument

The “Ghost of communism” that’s how we call Buzludzha in Bulgaria! But actually, this is a monument in the mountains of Bulgaria, and indeed one of the greatest such structures from the communist era anywhere in the world. Incredibly bizarre and beautiful, Buzludzha is listed among the creepiest abandoned monuments on earth. An absolutely stunning concrete edifice in a shape resembling a flying saucer stranded high on a mountain summit, the monument attracts hundreds of photographers and adventure seekers. Enjoy the beautiful and a little creepy communist art, the fascinating mosaics, showing us all the communist leaders and the famous communist symbols and slogans. Your guide will explain all the interesting details around the foundation of the communist party, about the economy and the lives of ordinary people during the communist period in Bulgaria.

    This was an exceptionally interesting tour.The first part, a visit to the distillery at Rose Valley was interesting but to a certain extent limited because the rose- picking season is over. Martin our guide made every effort to keep us informed about the oil-making process, Bulgarian customs and Thracian history. A highlight for me was visiting the Memorial Church at Shipka Pass - a key moment In Bulgarian history. We all had an enjoyable lunch at a trout restaurant before seeing the amazing “ flying saucer” at Budludzha. It was such an interesting day & Martin was excellent, dealing with different languages, age groups & levels of knowledge. He was always kind, patient & informative. I had a great day Many thanks

    What a WONDERFUL monument. A pity is that the people and government of Bulgaria do not know how to distinguish appreciation of history from ideological revanchism. Please preserve your historic monuments
