Monument to lovers

in #history7 years ago

Today we have a big frost. Therefore, when I walked next to the fountain, I remembered about summer. About how good it is near the fountain in the summer heat !!!
A little bit about the fountain.
This place is a favorite meeting place for lovers, appointing romantic dates, photo sessions. The monument is located in the center of the city on the square of Architects. The original sculpture - a guy and a girl are drawn to each other and join the kiss. Around the monument there is a fountain.
The idea of creation has arisen as a result of cooperation of the ex-governor and students of three local high schools, trained at architectural faculties. A contest was proposed for the idea of a monument to lovers. As a result, the winner was a student of the Kharkov State Academy of Design and Art - Dmitry Ivanov. On September 1, 2002, the official opening of the monument took place.
In 2009, the monument was painted in golden color, a fountain was built around the monument. From the north and south side of the fountain are located "7 Wonders of Kharkov".
I'll tell you about them in my next blog.
We have such a tradition: if the couple in love kiss near the monument, then their love will be sincere, long-lasting and lasting.
