No doubt this is the major building in the city, built with the same exact intention! It is a part of a whole complex with its twin brothers' buildings of the Constitutional Court of Bulgaria and the Presidency opposite. All of the built-in the years before Stalin's death reminds us of the strong hand of Communism!
