The geodetic survey and the photogrammetry will be used as input data for the subsequent detailed design project, which procedure for assigning the implementation is already in process. The Regional Governor of Plovdiv Ivan Totev calmed the artists who expose their works in the area of the Ancient stadium that the actual construction work will start around September and that until then there are no intentions artists to be moved from the square. The journalists were aware of the project ideas for revitalization of the Ancient Stadium on site. It became clear that part of the stadium will be exposed, the place where the lift for disabled will be located was shown.
"This is perhaps the best preserved Roman stadium in Europe. The only analogues that can be found are in North Africa, but they are not located in the urban environment as it is in Plovdiv, including the ones in Rome", explained eng. Ivan Totev. "The most unique about our city is that it has developed above the stadium itself and the direction of main street just copied the one that was 2000 years ago. We will exhibit one part with the project funds from the Norwegian government - worth 900,000 euros. So we will have an opportunity to show and make attractive something that was hidden from the eyes and stay buried for almost 25 years. The location falls inside the route that each tourist must follow in Plovdiv - starting from the Forum, passing through the stadium and towards the Ancient city and Nebet Tepe" stated eng. Totev.
