The Postal office Tower of the New Shumen City Center. Shumen, Bulgaria.

The city center project was finished in 1987 and underwent a real public discussion with exhibited models for the Shumen. Excavation works started. The Shumen city center should have been included an ambitious group of public buildings - a trading house, a concert center, a bank, a post office, a hotel complex, a restaurant and a coffee shop, underground parking lots and tunnels, squares with fountains.

The New Shumen City Center was built and left in uncompleted state since 1989.
