Statue of Ion Luca Caragiale, Bronze statue in Maria Rosetti Street, Bucharest, Romania.
The bronze statue portrays Ion Luca Caragiale in a contemplative stance, standing before the residence where the Romanian playwright once lived.
Constantin Baraschi sculpted this monument, which remained in various locations including Splaiul Independenței before settling at its current site in 2006.
The statue appears on the reverse of the 100 lei banknote, representing the enduring influence of Romania's leading playwright on national literature.
Visitors can reach the monument by taking public transportation to Maria Rosetti Street, which intersects with multiple central Bucharest transit routes.
The statue's head was proposed as a replacement for a rejected Lenin sculpture during the Communist period, though authorities denied this suggestion.
