Agenția Informațională de Stat

Chisinau, 28 August /MOLDPRES/- The Metropolitan Church of Chisinau asked relevant authorities to set the Triumph Arch in the center of the capital in the list of state-protected monuments, so that later it could assume responsibility for managing the monument and identifying the necessary means to restore it.

The request was made following the dissemination of a report on the poor condition of the Triumph Arch, given that it is not yet clear which authority is responsible to maintain the monument.

According to a press release, over two decades, the Orthodox Church of Moldova has restored 718 church buildings - state monuments.

The Arch of Triumph in Chisinau is an architectural monument built in 1840- 1841. Inside it is a giant bell weighing 6.4 tons. The Arch of Triumph is on the axis of symmetry of the architectural ensemble that includes the Lord Birth Cathedral, its bell tower, the Great National Assembly Square and Government House.
