BUCHAREST: A young man holds a portrait of the former dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, collected among scrap from a house being demolished in Romania's capital.
The Minister for Tourism, Elena Udrea, has said tourists will soon be able to follow Ceausescu's trail.
''We are working on a 'red circuit' that would follow the traces of communism and the dictatorship,'' Ms Udrea said in an interview with the Romanian B1TV channel.
The circuit will include Ceausescu's native village of Scornicesti and the Doftana prison where he served two years for ''subversive activities'' between 1936 and 1938.

The tour will take in the balcony of the party headquarters, where he delivered his last speech on December 21, 1989, before being ousted from power, and the military barracks in Targoviste, where he was executed with his wife, Elena, on December 25, 1989.
The couple's official residence in an upmarket district of Bucharest will also be opened to visitors.
''Western tourists are very interested in Ceausescu's history provided we can sell it properly,'' Ms Udrea said.
The son of a poor farmer, Nicolae Ceausescu ruled Romania with an iron fist from 1965 until 1989.
In December that year, as regimes crumbled across eastern and central Europe, the Ceausescus fled massive protests in Bucharest and other cities. They were arrested and executed by firing squad after a short show trial.
