Geodata services feature a photograph of this art object, poetically named "Breath of the Wind," which also reflected its appearance.
The Akimat of the Almalinsky District stated that the arch was installed in 2018 by an investor using their own funds "to create a center of attraction for residents and visitors of the city."
"Over time, the concrete base of the arch began to deteriorate. Additionally, the main metal structure suffered from corrosion. In its current condition, the arch not only appeared unsightly but also posed a risk of collapse, which was unsafe for pedestrians. Considering all these factors, the investor decided to dismantle the structure," the akimat informed.
We remind you that previously, in the Medeu District, the mural "She-Wolf" was painted over, with promises to restore it next year.
