Originaly this complex housed the Communist Party Headquarters but after the regime change it has, ironically, been home to several Capitalist institutions including the stock exchange. It is a good example of Socialist Realism, monumental and harsh. The courtyard, minimalist, geometric and ordered, full of potential as urban space, is unfortunately being used as a parking lot.
