About this activity

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.
