The Brotherly Mound memorial complex in Plovdiv to open doors as a Thracian Pantheon and a center of monumental art – that was the suggestion, made before the Plovdiv 2019 foundation by Dimitar Pampoulov, a famous public figure of the city. The spot is emblematic for Plovdiv, which has been preparing for its 2019 European Capital of Culture role. The monument has been closed in the course of almost 28 years. Prior to the 1989 fall of communism newly married couples had to lay flowers there and inside one could see stone and bronze-made sculptures. Many of the latter have now been stolen. Architect Lyubomir Shinkov has also been insisting on the monument’s restoration, as the project is his. The will of Shinkov and the rest of his 1974 team is the initial idea to be implemented, i.e. the memorial to recreate Bulgaria’s heroic struggle against the Ottoman rule, the Shipka Peak epopee and WWII, but not only the gorilla movement.
