The Giants, Stone sculptures in Carol I Park, Bucharest, Romania.
Two statues measuring 3.5 meters in height stand at the entrance of Carol I Park, portraying nude male figures in stone craftsmanship.
Frederic Stork and Dimitrie Paciurea created these statues as part of a three-piece ensemble called Sleeping Beauty, with the third statue later moved to Herastrau Park.
The statues represent a Romanian legend about two young men who turned into stone after their unfulfilled affection for the same woman.
Visitors can access the monuments through the main entrance of Carol I Park, located in central Bucharest near the Technical Museum.
The original composition included a cave structure and a female figure, forming a narrative sequence that stretched across the park grounds.
