Horea's Sessile, Historic monument in Țebea, Romania.
The sessile oak tree stands at 9 meters high with a circumference of 9 meters, featuring steel rings and cement reinforcements to preserve its structure.
The oak tree became a symbol of resistance during the 1784 peasant uprising when leader Horea gathered people beneath its branches to fight against oppression.
The site includes the Heroes Cemetery of Țebea and the grave of Avram Iancu, a significant figure in the Romanian national movement who died in 1872.
Visitors can access informational displays near the monument that detail the historical events and the preservation efforts undertaken since 1924.
Following a storm in 2005 that damaged the tree, craftsmen created the Cross of Horea from its fallen branch, now protected by a glass case.
