Sgraffito - Hotel Intourist "Moldova"

R. Bekesevich1980s

Description

Sgraffito on the upper facade of the former Hotel Inturist in central Chișinău, now partially repurposed for commercial use. The mural spans the top corner panels of the building and is executed in a red and cream palette. It displays stylized representations of national landmarks, including fortresses such as Soroca Fortress on the left, and Chișinău Circus, modern buildings, and other imagery (star and an ox or cow head). The piece is a later addition, as the Hotel Inturist was completed in 1978 while Chisinau Circus only in 1981.
