Statue of Saint George and the Dragon in Cluj-Napoca

Statue of Saint George and the Dragon in Cluj-Napoca, Bronze equestrian statue in Mihail Kogălniceanu Street, Romania.

The life-sized statue presents Saint George mounted on a horse, engaged in combat with a dragon beneath the steed's hooves.

The 1904 statue is a replica of a medieval artwork created in 1373 by craftsmen Martinus and Georgius for Emperor Charles IV of Bohemia.

This monument represents the triumph of good over evil through the depiction of Saint George, a Roman soldier executed for his Christian faith.

The statue stands in front of the Reformed Church, making it a central reference point for orientation in Cluj-Napoca's historical district.

The statue's creation technique employs lost-wax casting methods, demonstrating advanced metal crafting skills from early twentieth-century Romania.
