Buzludzha monument is a must see place in Bulgaria. The monument looks like a UFO building and ranks among the most famous abandoned buildings in the world. It is the former office of the communist party in Bulgaria.

The Buzludzha monument is officially opened on 23 August 1981. Its construction begins in 1974 and is financed with donations. The chied architect wanted the whole nation to participate. So families were made to buy stamps and this way they collected EUR 7 mln for the construction.

After the end of communism, the monument begins to get destroyed. Today the monument ranks 25 in the “The most beautiful abandoned places in the world” and in 2013 similar ranking lists it as number one. This made Buzludzha popular abroad and today many people fly to Bulgaria to see it. From Australia to Canada and South Africa, they all come to see the abandoned UFO building in Bulgaria.
