Description of the attraction
The sculptural composition "Concord Table" is an architectural monument, which is located in the city of Kamenets-Podolsk on the Tatarska mountain. The city of Kamenets-Podolsky itself is often called the city of seven cultures - according to the number of those nationalities who lived on its territory in past centuries and made a certain contribution to its life. At different times and centuries, Ukrainians, Turks, Tatars, Armenians, Jews, Lithuanians and Poles lived here.
That is why in our time in this beautiful city and established a tradition to hold a holiday-festival "Seven Cultures". This festival has already become international, and every year it pleases residents of the city and visiting tourists. Its participants call it even more poetically - “Seven petals of a flower on a stone”. It is not for nothing that they say that architecture is frozen music, and the architecture of Kamenets is exactly that: after all, it reflects the culture and history of all the peoples who lived and live there. At one of these festivals, in September 2001, the “Monument of Seven Cultures” or, as it is also called, “Table of Consent” was opened and installed.
The monument weighs about two tons. Its author is the sculptor Anatoly Ignaschenko. The monument is made in the form of a large reinforced concrete disk, about eight meters in diameter, and symbolizes a real millstone of history. In the very center of the disc is a "torch of friendship" made of metal. Around the disc itself there are seven huge stones, each stone symbolizes a people who left their mark on the history of this ancient city (Turks, Armenians, Ukrainians, Jews, Tatars, Poles and Lithuanians). There is another stone not far from the millstone, which symbolizes an invitation to take part in the cultural development of this city and contribute your stone to its construction.
