Indira Gandhi and Fidel Castro

Curiously, a mural on the facade of the local church shows Indira Gandhi and Fidel Castro.
This is not accidental - in1968 the village was visited by the Indian prime minister, and in 1972, legendary Fidel Castro also paid a visit to Staro Zhelezare.

Staro Zhelezare is the Street Art village in central Bulgaria. Walls, fances and buildings are covered with paintings - figures and portraits of local peopled companied by famous figures from the world of politics and culture.
The idea is created and the project is realised by Art Collective - Katarzyna and Ventsislav Piryankov and their art students from Poland. From 2015 they organize in summer the Mural Festival "Village of Personalities/Art for social change" . They spend whole july and august at Piriankov Art Center at Staro Zhelezare - their summer house for artists.
