Conservation, restoration, and exhibition of the building of the Municipal Drama Theater “Vida” and shaping of the surrounding area – the town of Vidin
The “Vida” Drama Theater is a landmark building in Vidin. In 1889, the municipal council allocated a central location, just twenty meters from the Danube bank, where Austrian steamships used to dock, for its construction. Italian architects and builders were hired to create a miniature version of the “Milan Rock”. The theater was completed in 1898 and was the first building in Bulgaria specifically designed for theater performances. Today, the building is recognized as an important cultural site with a “local importance” status due to its unique architecture and historical significance.
