Heroes Monument, Târgu Ocna, Military memorial on Magura hill in Târgu Ocna, Romania

The Heroes Monument stands 22 meters tall on Magura hill at 520 meters altitude, constructed entirely of carved stone in the shape of a projectile.

Between 1925 and 1928, surviving veterans built this monument to honor 14,000 Romanian soldiers who died in World War I battles at Oituz-Cosna-Ciresoaia.

The ground floor houses the tomb of an unknown soldier with two battle flags from Infantry Regiment 15 and Artillery Regiment 4 displayed above it.

The monument contains three levels connected by a circular staircase, with the first floor featuring a museum displaying World War I photographs and military equipment.

The monument underwent significant restoration from 1972 to 1974, transforming from an abandoned state into a functional museum preserving military history.
