In this eBook you can find the presentations carried out by the students who took part in the 3rd Transnational meeting in Karpenissi, Greece. It is important to point out that the 6 teams worked collaboratively and in pairs they presented each other’s monuments.

It has huge doors, windows, columns and chandeliers for which up to 700,000 tonnes of steel and bronze were used. 6 The state building was built in the area of west Unirii Boulevard .

Inside there are a guards room,next to it there is an economato building ,a Foisor hunting lodge and the Royal Stables. During the construction of this castle some plans of the palacaes of western europe were shown to the king but they were too costly and he wanted something original and unique thats why he rejected the suggestions. 8 German architect Johannes Schultz, presented the King's taste by offering something that was more original. The work was led by architect Carol Benesch. Then, between the years 1893-1914, the port side and main central towers, which have a height of 66 meters, were designed by Czech Karel Nowadays is is used as a museum,as it has a very romantic style and it is also used as a citadel 9 The bridge was built between 1890 and 1895 to connect Bucharest and Constance .The bridge is over the Danube and Borcea rivers and when the bridge was completed it had a total length of 4,087.95 m , it became the longest bridge in Europe and the second longest in the world. The Cernovada bridge has the railway link between Fetesti and Cernovada and has a length of 21 km.The commencement of the bridge took place on 26 November 1890 in the presence of King Carol I. 10 Design and execution was led by the engineer Anghel Saligny. All the parts including the bridges were made in a simple way. Danube Bridge 190 has a central opening and the other four openings meters 140 meters, with a viaduct with 15 openings of 60 meters. The bridge is 30 m above high water level of the Danube to allow passage of vessels with the highest masts. The total cost of the section of track Fetesti-Cernavoda, including railway lines and stations, was 35 million lei gold 11 GREECE Ancient Greek architecture is mostly known for its temples, many of which are mostly ruins Ancient Greece is regarded by historians as the fundamental culture of Western civilization 12 The Acropolis - the most significant ancient monument in the western world The sacred rocky hill of Athenian Acropolis rises above the town square - the agora. The court was sitting there. The Acropolis is a flat rock peak - rising 150 m above sea level in the city of Athens, Greece. It is believed that a royal palace was located on it. It is a place of great religious and social significance in the culture of ancient Greece 13 The ancient city of Delphi was about 120 km northwest of Athens. In antiquity it was a leading religious center for Ancient Greece. There was the famous sanctuary, oracle of god Apollon. The sanctuary is the most revered in ancient times throughout the Mediterranean. In Delphi there are temples of gods, a stadium, a theater, and treasures that have kept the gifts of God. 14 Today, Delphi's ruins are a tourist site and part of the UNESCO World Heritage List 15 It is located in the south- west of Greece and is the place where the Olympic games started in the 8th century BC. The Games were held every four years, as it is today. During the Games, wars stopped! Nowadays you can visit the museum and the archeological site with the temples and the stadium. 16 BULGARIA The Madara Rider is a carved medieval bas- relief on a rock. It is located near the village of Madar, not far from Shumen. It has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is cut at 23 meters in a vertical rock. It depicts a horseman, a dog,a lion and an eagle. 17 The horseman is standing upright, wearing a long robe. In one hand he holds the reins of the horse, and with the other he spears a lion. It is believed that this horseman is Khan Asparuh, the creator of the Bulgarian state. There are inscriptions in Greek.They give information about events of 14 centuries ago. Under the horseman there is a cave with a sanctuary. This relief is the only one of its kind in Europe. 18 The temple was built in memory of the Russian soldiers who died during the Russian-Turkish War of Liberation and in honor of Emperor Alexander II. The patron of the temple is Alexander Nevsky, a saint from the 13th century. The temple is built on a cemetery. The first stone is laid on a part of the necropolis of Ancient Serdika in 1882. 19 The temple was completed in 1912. Its foundations included a metal box with the names of the members of the government at that time. The temple can accommodate 5000 people. There are 12 huge bells delivered by Moscow. The ringing of the bells can be heard 15 kilometers away. The total weight of the bells is 23 tons. The church is made of white stone and the domes are covered with gold. There is a museum with icons in the crypt of the temple-monument. It is the second largest Orthodox temple in the Balkans. 20 It is located 14 km from the centre of Sofia. It symbolizes children’s hope for a world without war and violence. The United Nations Organization declared 1979 as the Year of the Child and their problems. The basic idea was to hold a meeting for children from all over the world. Later this meeting turned into an international movement. Lyudmila Zhivkova suggested the creation of the Monument. It was built in just 30 days. A sphere at the top and the four pylons represent the world. In it there are seven bells,the seven continents. More than 95 bells from different countries are put in the rings around the base of the monument. 21 SPAIN • Attractions in Spain are as diverse as the whole country itself. • Spain is among ten countries most frequently visited by tourists. There are lots of great architectural monuments. You’re most welcome to watch our presentation. Barcelona is the second biggest city in Spain. It has fantastic architecture, mostly monumental. SAGRADA FAMILIA by brilliant Gaudie. Antoni Gaudí was born in 1852 and died in 1926. He was an architect and engineer from Catalonia, famous for his ingenious constructions. Lots of proves of his devotion to God have been gathered, therefore the process of his beatification has been in progress since 1992. Year 2002 – 150 years after the birth of Gaudi was announced by the authorities of Barcelona the international year of Gaudí. 22 SAGRA DA FAMILIA Sagrada Familia is a large Roman Catholic basilica in Barcelona built in the gothic and art nouveau style, designed by Antonio Gaudí and considered his greatest work. The construction of Sagrada Familia began in 1882. The architect wanted it to be as one integral organismus. The towers were finished in 1920 but six years later Gaudi died run over by a tram, leaving only one of the designed facades. Beacuse of the uniqueness of the details (each of them is to be unique like in nature and has to be carved indivdually) the church has not been finished yet.

  • “Heroes” in Neo-Hellenic Art (19Th – 20Th Centuries) the New National Models and Their Development Panagiota Papanikolaou International Hellenic University
    Volume 2, Issue 5, May 2015, PP 249-256 ISSN 2349-0373 (Print) & ISSN 2349-0381 (Online) www.arcjournals.org International Journal of Humanities Social Sciences and Education (IJHSSE) “Heroes” in Neo-Hellenic Art (19th – 20th Centuries) the New National Models and their Development Panagiota Papanikolaou International Hellenic University “Pity the country that needs heroes.” Bertolt Brecht Abstract The outbreak of the Greek Revolution in 1821 acted as a catalyst for the country and put in place the conditions for the occurrence of many new phenomena, such as the emergence of art, for example, which was influenced by Western mannerisms. This has been considered absolutely normal, because this is when the actual conditions for the development of art were met. The social, legal, moral and political conditions were completely overhauled and this enabled citizens to express themselves freely. (1) For Greeks, the Greek Revolution has been the great historical event out of which the new Greek state emerged. However, to achieve this, sacrifices and struggles have been necessary, which resulted in certain people standing out for their achievements, bringing back to the people’s memory the ancient myths about semi-gods and heroes as well as the saints of the Christian religion. The heroes and heroines of the new Hellenism leapt out of the Greek Revolution, lauded by poets and represented by artists. In general, there are many categories of “heroes”, as there are many definitions thereof. According to dictionaries, a “hero” is someone “who commits a valiant act, often to the point of sacrificing themselves”, a person who achieves something particularly difficult and who is admired by others.

  • The Historiography and Cartography of the Macedonian Question
    X. The Historiography and Cartography of the Macedonian Question by Basil C. Gounaris 1. The contest for the Ottoman inheritance in Europe From the moment that the word ‘Hellas’ was deemed the most appropriate for the name of the modern state of the Romioi, the question of Macedonia, in theory at least, had been judged. Historical geography – according to Strabo’s well-known commentary – placed the land of Alexander within Greece, but in actuality, of course, the issue did not concern the Greeks directly. Their territorial ambitions extended at a stretch beyond Mt Olympus. Moreover, until the mid-19th century at least, the absence of any rival com- petitors meant that the identity of the Macedonians was not an issue yet. Knowledge of their history in medieval times was foggy, whilst the multilingualism did not surprise anyone: to be an Orthodox Christian was a necessary factor, but also sufficient enough for one to be deemed part of the Greek nation.1 If there was any concern over Macedonia and its inhabitants, then this was clearly to be found within the Slavic world, in particular within the Bulgarian national renais- sance and its relations with both Russia and Serbia. Prior to the foundation of the Greek state in 1822, Vuk Karadjic, the leading Serbian philologist and ethnographer included some Slavic folk songs from Razlog as ‘Bulgarian’ in one of his publications. In 1829 the Ukrainian Yuri Venelin also classed the inhabitants of Macedonia as Bulgarians, in his study The Ancient and Present-Day Bulgarians and their Political, Ethnographic and Religious Relationship to the Russians.

  • Dimitris Livanios I. the Austrian, the Hungarian and the Greeks
    THE QUEST FOR HELLENISM: RELIGION, NATIONALISM AND COLLECTIVE IDENTITIES IN GREECE (1453-1913) Dimitris Livanios ABSTRACT: The main aim of this essay is to offer a critical survey of the development of Greek collective identities, between 1453 and 1913. That period witnessed dramatic transformations, and the arrival of a modernising and Westernising wave, which crashed onto the Greek shores in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The ensuing clash between Western and modern ideas of nationalism on the one hand, and time- honoured local mentalities nurtured by Orthodoxy and the Ottoman millet system, on the other, was intense. This paper attempts to chart some salient aspects of that struggle, to discuss the evolution of concepts and words, such as “Hellene” [ŒÏÏËÓ·˜], “Hellenism” [∂ÏÏËÓÈÛÌfi˜], “Roman” [ƒˆÌÈfi˜] and “Romiosyne” [ƒˆÌÈÔÛ‡ÓË], and to place them within their changing historical context. I. The Austrian, the Hungarian and the Greeks On 21 September 1829 an Austrian statesman sent a letter to a Hungarian nobleman. In this letter the author reflected on the Greeks:“What do we mean by the Greeks? Do we mean a people, a country, or a religion? If either of the first two, where are the dynastic and geographical boundaries? If the third, then upwards of fifty million men are Greeks…”1 Prince Clemens von Metternich, our Austrian statesman, had his reasons for taking the trouble to preoccupy himself with the Greeks, a far away people of whom he knew rather little: he had to protect the integrity of the Ottoman Empire, which was then threatened by the emergence of a Greek state, and to extinguish the flames of nationalism that threatened to engulf not only the Ottomans but his own masters, the Habsburgs, as well.

  • Pastoral Life in Art in Greece
    Theme 9: Pastoral Life in Art Report of Greece By Louisa Karapidaki Art Historian PRISMA, October 2011 The sheep in Greek art through the centuries The depiction of the sheep, the ram, the lamb and the mutton is frequently encountered in all the facets of Greek art from antiquity to our days. The characteristic appearance of the animal appears either in bucolic scenes in environmentalist depictions, or in mythological narratives, as an allegorical holy entity, or even as a reference to multiple symbolisms which are given to the animal. We shall occupy ourselves, in this study below, with the presence of the sheep throughout the history of the Greek art and in all the visual arts in the wider area of Hellas and reference to this shall be in chronological order.
