Memorial of Rebirth, Monument in Revolution Square, București, Romania
The Memorial of Rebirth consists of a white marble pillar reaching 25 meters high, topped with a metal crown and surrounded by granite plaza.
The memorial, inaugurated in 2005, stands at the location where Nicolae Ceaușescu was publicly overthrown during the Romanian Revolution of December 1989.
Two panels at the base display names of those who died during the revolution, while wooden crosses of different sizes represent various ages of the victims.
The memorial complex occupies 600 square meters between the Senate Palace and the Royal Palace, requiring a continuous security presence since its completion.
The monument features a black spot on the marble pillar symbolizing the Communist period, with the ascending structure representing Romanian people breaking through darkness.
