Matthias Corvinus Monument, Bronze sculpture in Piața Unirii, Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
The equestrian statue features King Matthias Corvinus mounted on a horse, accompanied by four military commanders cast in bronze at ground level.
Created by sculptor János Fadrusz and unveiled in 1902, the monument received the Grand Prix at the Paris World Exhibition for its preliminary plaster model.
The monument stands as a representation of both Romanian and Hungarian heritage, with inscriptions in multiple languages describing the king's origins.
The monument serves as a central meeting point in Cluj-Napoca, with benches nearby offering views of both the statue and Saint Michael's Church.
The positioning of all four hooves of the horse on the ground indicates that King Matthias died of natural causes rather than in battle.
