“The Abandoned Bulgaria” is a creepy photo tour through the abandoned places in Bulgaria. Forgotten monuments, buildings, machines and even whole villages bring memories from the past.

Hristo Uzunov is a Bulgarian photographer who lives in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. For the past two years he’s been travelling to abandoned places in Bulgaria, taking photos for his photo project “The Abandoned Bulgaria” (“Изоставената България”).

He has visited more than 20 abandoned places, trying to capture their unique atmosphere and keep the memory of them alive. Because one by one they are fading into dust… Feel the melancholic beauty of these places!
