+==== Technical University of Moldova Park  ====
+The dendrological park of the Technical University of Moldova (UTM) was conceived in 2004 at the initiative of Mr. Ion Bostan, who served as the rector of UTM from 1992 to 2015, as an open-air technical museum. Here, you can admire an impressive gallery of exhibits displayed outdoors: the UTM Stele - the symbol of technical education, the Thinker sculpture - a symbol of the creative thinking of human society, and pieces symbolizing the first inventions of humanity, such as lighting a fire with a spark, up to the most modern and ingenious innovations.
+Most of these were created or reconstructed by the students and professors of the University. Helicopters and trams from the last century can also be found here. One of the trams is quite unusual - pulled by two iron horses, bringing to mind the famous horse-drawn tram that ran on Chisinau's main street Alexandru cel Bun (now Ștefan cel Mare și Sfânt Boulevard) in the 1930s-1940s.
+In the middle of the park stands the unique fountain with steel sculptures of the 12 zodiac signs. Even some benches installed here are unique creations. They embody two intertwined universal symbols, the heart and infinity, and are nicknamed "The Lovers' Benches."
