Among the architectural landmarks of the seaside city of Burgas, there exists a unique art object that has become a true symbol of urban space. The monumental sculpture, known as "The Gramophone", rises on the famous first city largo – Bogoridi Street, attracting the gaze of passersby and urban art lovers.
The work, created by the talented local artist Rusi Stoyanov, is an impressive metal construction with an impressive height of about two meters. Its monumentality and artistic execution make it a true landmark that tells incredible stories from urban folk tradition.
Among the locals, there exists a romantic legend that adds additional magic to the sculpture. According to urban lore, if a person carefully turns the gramophone's handle and listens intently, they may hear the name of their true love. This romantic story transforms an ordinary metal object into an emotional experience that attracts both locals and tourists.
The Gramophone is not just another urban sculpture, but a true storyteller that preserves the spirit of Burgas. Its presence on the central largo symbolizes the connection between past and present, between art and urban memory.
The location of the work – in the historic Bogoridi Street – further emphasizes its significance. It has become an integral part of the urban landscape, telling its story to anyone who stops to look and listen.
