The Buzludzha Monument in Bulgaria is one of the world's strangest buildings.

It's a sort of concrete UFO in the mountains which has been totally abandoned since 1989.

And it also represents one of the strangest architectural movements in history...

The Buzludzha Monument was built in central Bulgaria by the communist government and inaugurated in 1981. It commemorated the events of 1891, when a group of socialists assembled secretly in the area to form a socialist movement that led to the founding of the Bulgarian Communist Party.

The monument exemplifies the architecture common to many state-constructed communist buildings. All maintenance ended with the fall of communism in 1989, the building remains closed to the public due to the hazards of the weakened structure.
