Everyone wants to have the center of the world, the center of the universe and the navel of the earth. Farce and comedy. This stray has nothing to do with the zero or the starting point of reference for anything. It has no historical, geographical, cultural, or artistic significance. It's just a kind of swagger. Like the sarcophagus in the square.
The deserted square of tiles where this obelisk is installed. The wind is blowing and people have to run through it at full speed because there is nothing to do there.
It was disfigured by a new building in the worst traditions of Kalich architecture.
Kilometer zero. The beginning of all roads in Belarus. It is located right in front of the Palace of the Republic. The distances to the main cities of the republic are indicated.
