Monument to Independence

The monumental ensemble, dedicated to Romanian heroes in the War of Independence in 1877, was built in 1985 by a group of architects from Bucharest. The figures of 3 soldiers in a semicircle represent the three armies: infantry, sailors and border guards. The sides of the monument contain bronze bas-reliefs and represent the crossing of the Danube by the Romanian army, the attack on Pleven, as well as scenes in which the military doctor, General Carol Devila, cares for wounded heroes.
