Enthusiasts behind the digital project "Bulgaria in the Palm of Your Hand" are showcasing the country's architectural heritage with a twist. Their recent video release highlights iconic structures from Bulgaria's socialist era.
"We want to show you how sometimes seemingly controversial architectural heritage can be a magnet for tourists from all over the world. That's why we've prepared this video tour.” Why brutalistic? “Because the monuments you'll see are built in this exact architectural style - Brutalism. And because for architecture lovers they are brutally cool!" - says the comment to the video.
