It was built as a monument, but the communist chaps met there. The interior was done out fancy pants style, and they met there to discuss whatever it was they discussed.



Just going by what info was available at the place.

Whichever has the mud tyres!

(I'd recommend an old SJ, or a Jimny)

Oh, and the Shipka pass is a superb road. Any PHers hewing that way should put it on their list.
