A NEW LOOK OF THE ANTIQUE MONUMENT

[taliakerch]

The longlasting restoration of Kerch antique monument is over!
Now all tourists and locals have pleasure to enjoy the results.

The process lasted several years, and the task was to renew the upstairs and the square around the monument to dead heroes of the WWII. But the monument itself is situated on the Mithridate mountain that was called so in honour of the antique tsar of the Kingdom of Pontus.
My city Kerch is more than 2600 years now, and its history is really exciting. Many existing monuments need restoration to live more, so it's great the state give them such a chance.
Though I amn't sure all funds go exactly to the restoration and not to the pockets of local authorities...

But still we see the result! The upstairs look better now because before restoration they were dangerous for people.

it's a griffin - a symbol of my city Kerch

that's how we can enjoy the night sea from the mountain and the ships that make pictures on the water;)

Flags are always on the top

that's the place where a piece of the ancient wall meets a new restorated one.
and I must admit I like the right one more...

and me climbing up to feel the wind of centuries..;)

Very good photographic record of this restored monument of that ancient Ukrainian city. Your photos let us know not only about the place, but also about its architectural beauty and natural surroundings. Curious that a griff is the symbol of the city. Thank you and best regards, @taliakerch.
