"Hunger circus" (Romanian: Circ al foamei) was a colloquial name for any in a series of identical buildings which were to be completed as part of President Nicolae Ceaușescu's program of systematization during his period as ruler of Romania. Officially designated by the communist regime as "complex comercial agroindustrial", oftentimes miscalled "complex agroalimentar", these large domed buildings were intended as produce markets and public refectories.
