Capitoline Wolf Statue, Bronze monument in Eroilor Boulevard, Cluj-Napoca, Romania

The Capitoline Wolf statue depicts a bronze she-wolf nursing Romulus and Remus on a granite pedestal in the center of Cluj-Napoca.

The Italian state presented this statue to Cluj in 1921 to mark the Union of Transylvania with Romania, drawing 25,000 residents to its unveiling.

The sculpture features Emperor Trajan in bas-relief and bears inscriptions connecting Cluj to Rome, emphasizing Romanian Latin ancestry.

Located at the intersection of Eroilor Boulevard with University Square, the statue stands 0.75 meters tall and serves as a central meeting point.

During the Second Vienna Award in 1940, authorities removed and stored the statue until after World War II for protection from political tensions.
