This evening, State Cultural Institute Cultural Centre “The Palace” officially unveiled the bronze sculpture “The Daughter of Balchik”, dedicated to Balchika Moshesku Machuka - a poet born in Balchik whose life and memories remained deeply connected to the town.

For the occasion, her daughter, Oana Maria Cajal, travelled from Canada to donate the sculpture to “The Palace,” fulfilling her family’s wish for the memory of Balchika to return to the place where her story began.

The gathering was marked by an exceptionally warm and emotional atmosphere. In her address, the Director of “The Palace” delivered a message of peace, cultural dialogue, and mutual respect between nations:

“Let us value and pay attention to the things that connect our peoples, rather than those that divide us.”

The evening continued with the opening of the exhibition “History, Script, Memory”, presenting historical Romanian documents written in Cyrillic script - part of the cultural programme of “The Palace” dedicated to European Night of Museums and the celebration of 24 May, the Day of Saints Cyril and Methodius, the Bulgarian alphabet, education, culture, and Slavic literature.
