Statuia lui Mihai Viteazul din București, Bronze equestrian monument at University Square, Bucharest, Romania
The bronze statue depicts Michael the Brave mounted on horseback, standing on a marble pedestal decorated with heraldic symbols of Romanian provinces.
Completed in 1874 by French sculptor Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse, this monument represents the first equestrian statue erected in the Romanian capital.
The monument displays bronze coats of arms on each corner of the pedestal, representing the historical regions of Wallachia, Moldova, and Transylvania.
The statue underwent temporary relocation to Izvor Park between 2010 and 2012 to accommodate the construction of an underground parking facility.
During the War of Independence in 1877, two captured Turkish cannons were placed next to the statue by order of Prince Carol I.
