Summary/Abstract: The study relates the context and stages of building the Alley of Illustrious Scientists and Doctors, a sculptural ensemble built by the State University of Medicine and Pharmacy “Nicolae Testemitanu” from the Republic of Moldova, at the initiative of the rector of the University, acad. Ion Ababii. The Alley was included as a component part of the Infrastructure Development Plan of the “Nicolae Testemitanu” University, approved by Decision no. 847 of September 21, 2010 of the Government of the Republic of Moldova. The study presents financial data, the initiator of the concept, the sculptors and personalities included in the art monument, unique in its kind in the Romanian space. The Alley was inaugurated on October 9, 2015, during the event dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the founding of the University. In 2018 and 2020, the Alley was completed with 6 and, respectively, 3 busts. Currently the surface does not allow an extension of the Alley, so, the people in charge are looking for possibilities to place a few other busts in spaces related to the institutions where the advanced personalities for the perpetuation of the names have been advanced.
