MODEL OF BULGARIA'S RILA MONASTERY TO BE INCLUDED IN MINI-EUROPE PARK

Wed, Oct 31 2007 13:38 CET 447 Views

A miniature model of the Rila Monastery will be added to the collection of the Mini-Europe park in Brussels.

The park presents mini-models of tourist attractions from all EU member states.

Rila Monastery's model will be in 1:25 scale, constructed by the Bulgaria in Miniature studio. Mini-Europe director Thierry Meeùs and Sunny Sunninski from Bulgaria in Miniature signed the contract on October 31 2007.

The model will include all details of the monastery, including the inner buildings and frescoes. It would spread on 20 sq m and be one m high.

As Rila Monastery's architecture is of the closed type, a special platform would be constructed to allow the visitors see the model from a bird's eye view.

Meeùs said that he was happy such an attraction would be presented in the park. The Rila monastery was very impressing and few of the models in Mini-Europe had such an impact on the viewer. It would be the first model of an Orthodox building in the park, he said after the contract signing.

The model would be ready by the end of spring 2008 or the beginning of summer 2008.
