Buzludzha Monument, Bulgaria

Built atop a hill in Bulgaria by the Communist party, this saucer-shaped monument lies derelict. With nearly 6,000 workers including sculptors, artisans and designers coming together, this memorial was built to honour the Communist regime and stand as a symbol of pride for the outside world. With the fall of the Soviet Union, Bulgaria was formed and subsequently gained control of this. As time passed by, the structure fell out of use with the government facing a lack of funds to repair it. It is often used as a spot for movie shooting, exhibitions, photoshoots, etc.
