Brutalism in Bulgaria

A decaying, yet still functioning, work of communist architecture.

This massive stone and steel monument remembers a century-old battle that cost thousands of lives and nearly destroyed the city.

This once-grandiose behemoth of a monument from the socialist era now sits quiet and closed up.

This massive concrete sculpture is said to be the heaviest communist monument on Earth.

An abandoned saucer-shaped monument in the Bulgarian mountains.
