Table of Silence, Sculptural monument in Târgu Jiu, Romania
The Table of Silence consists of a circular limestone table measuring 215 centimeters in diameter, encircled by twelve hourglass-shaped stone seats.
Romanian sculptor Constantin Brâncuși created this piece in 1937 to commemorate the soldiers who defended Târgu Jiu during World War I.
The installation forms part of a three-piece sculptural ensemble spanning 1.3 kilometers, including the Gate of the Kiss and the Endless Column.
Visitors can reach the Table of Silence by following the central pathway through Târgu Jiu Park, where the monument stands in an open-air setting.
The twelve stone seats surrounding the table represent time through their hourglass shape, while the circular arrangement suggests eternal gathering.
