Enormous square filled with monuments and surrounded by beautiful buildings. It’s insane to think that this was hidden and covered by the communist leaders in the 50s, that kind of cultural erasure is really one of the strangest elements of the communist and fascist movements in the 20th century. Behind the square, there is a park with an amazing old castle on a lake that you should visit if you are in the area.
