Building the monument
The building of the Buzludzah moment started 23rd January 1974. It took the Bulgarians 7 year to complete the structure. The project was huge, constructing the building was one part but getting everything up the mountain was an other quest. Roads had to be built, water and electricity had to provided on the mountain.
The architect of this colossal project was Georgi Stoilov. In August 1981 he was very proud at the grand opening of the monument. The memorial house of the Bulgarian Communist Regime was a place where Bulgarians met and celebrate the regime. Also officials events and parties where organized on this mountain.
