SERPENTINE HILL. SCULPTURAL COMPOSITION “CITY CHRONICLE”

Monuments

A serpentine hill has been established in the Radviliškis leisure and entertainment park, near the Latvian Cultural Center. Everyone, traveling along the path to its peak, is invited to stop at seven stops, where dates important to the city of Radviliškis, its history and development are engraved on stones covered with cast iron plates.

Those traveling along this historical trail will learn when Radviliškis, the parochial school and the church were first mentioned in written sources, when people died from hunger and pestilence, when they started to grow again, when the historical battle with Bermontinians took place here, when city rights were granted, and when the coat of arms was created.

At the very top of the hill, the sculptural composition "Meisto metraštis" donated to the hometown of Stasios Žirgulis, an honorary citizen of the Radviliškis region, is exhibited. The coat of arms of the city of Radviliškis is embedded in it between four pillars emerging from the ground. This composition is dedicated to the 450th anniversary of the city of Radviliškis. Creatively revealed familiarity with the city's past, cozy environment, comfortably placed benches - all this turned the serpentine hill into an attraction and a place of rest for the residents of Radvili and their guests.
