This season of the documentary series "Stone 'n Time" features a particularly well-chosen thematic selection.
It respectfully approaches the profound historical continuity of the places and people who experience their homeland.
Topics such as the Old Parliament, Thiseio in the heart of ancient Athens, which remains an enchanting neighborhood even today, the significant but little-known ancient city of Kynos in Livanates, the Kamena Vourla with its magnificent old leisure hotels that are now almost in ruins, Doxtato with its neoclassical architectural masterpieces in Macedonia, and other subjects provide a deeper and more substantial meaning to this new season of documentaries, which always pioneers in the choice of topics and even more so in their aesthetic and qualitative portrayal.
Today:
«Doxato»
Episode 5
Doxato is an example of the implementation of innovative ideas in the field of architecture, where housing of the broader social strata who invested on classicist features and strong decoration on the main house facades, reveal an era of great prosperity. Great buildings preserved in excellent condition until today cause admiration, as do the tobacco warehouses that bring to mind the growth period owed to the cultivation of tobacco. The name of Doxato is probably attributed to its location in the wide plain where it is built. Doxato is the spacious room on the first floor of traditional Macedonian houses, which has a nice view. Doxato is also a martyr town. The Bulgarians repeatedly massacred the inhabitants in 1913-1941. Indicatively, the newspapers of the Secolo era of Italy, Daily telegraph and Times of England, describing shocking testimonies from the massacre and torture of innocent inhabitants. Due to the massacres, Doxato was named a Heroic and Martyr City and became an honorary municipality. Just as it dissolves, time restores things. It heals the wounds and stirs life. It heals the wounds and stirs life. Doxato has healed its wounded wings and today is a vibrant community. A pocket of progress and culture.
