Statue of Hercules in Băile Herculane, Bronze statue in Băile Herculane, Romania.
The bronze statue of Hercules stands in the central square, depicting the mythological hero in a classical pose with muscular details and commanding presence.
Austrian artists Ramelmayer and Glantz created this bronze statue in 1847, replacing a red marble fountain at the request of Archduke Carol of Austria.
The statue represents the connection between the thermal springs and Roman mythology, as Hercules was believed to have bathed in these waters.
Located at the northern end of the valley, the statue provides an orientation point for visitors exploring the Roman baths and surrounding thermal springs.
The statue marks the location where, according to legend, Hercules gained strength in the thermal waters before fighting the Hydra in Cerna valley.
