Attacking Cavalryman Statue, Bronze equestrian sculpture in Iași, Romania.
The Attacking Cavalryman Statue is a bronze equestrian sculpture in Iași depicting a mounted cavalryman wielding a spear, accompanied by a nymph holding a laurel crown, all rising from a pedestal about 6 meters high. The base is decorated with four bronze bas-reliefs showing scenes of military action.
The monument was erected in 1927 to honor the 2nd Cavalry Division's sacrifice at the Battle of Prunaru in 1916. This battle was a major conflict where thousands of soldiers gave their lives.
The monument displays four bronze bas-reliefs on its pedestal that show major battles of the 2nd Cavalry Division during World War I. These scenes tell the story of the unit's wartime service.
The statue stands on Boulevard Carol I near Copou Garden and remains accessible year-round. A crypt beneath the pedestal contains illuminated inscriptions that visitors can view from ground level.
Beneath the monument lies a crypt accessed through the Gate of Immortality, containing marble inscriptions and an eternal electric candle. This hidden chamber serves as a solemn space for remembrance.
