Luminous arch
Detailed description
There is an unusual place in the Northern Capital – it is a luminous arch. The arch appeared 145 years ago during the construction of the House of mercy. A three-storey building was designed, but there were a lot of people in need of overnight accommodation and two more floors had to be built. As a result of the construction, this opening was formed. In the daytime, sunlight penetrates through it, which illuminates the arch from the inside. People come here to make a wish.
