RE: A clock tower that will soon be no more!

in Worldmappin4 years ago

Lol, that's a huge amount of work you have put into researching this monument!
Hats off for your diligence! At least because ... who visits libraries these days? Who is wasting their time doing this at all...
But it's good that there are still things and places that inspire us to make an effort to find out more about them.
I know this tower. And I would say I like it. I never imagined that the locals hid such feelings for it, or what its story is, because, as you yourself said, there is no information about it on the Internet.
But the saddest thing is not the lack of information, but that in Bulgaria so many cultural monuments and such a rich historical heritage is left to the whims of time and fate. It is left to live until it simply disintegrates and disappears into nothingness.
And whether it is the local people or the government of the settlements, it is the people's fault. And I blame each of them for their indifference and lack of care, because they bury the culture and history of this country.

Indeed, it was quite a prep ;) It was fun to spend some time back in XXth century :)
I agree with you about the lack of support for so many historical and cultural places and monuments we have. Yes, it is people fault, of course, as it seems that we as a nation don't care enough. The budget for culture is mockingly small. Each and every year and that's a function of what we as a nation believe is important.
Have a great day!
