Monument to Lady Bălașa, Historic monument in central Bucharest, Romania.

The Monument to Lady Bălașa is a two-metre Carrara marble statue of Domnița Bălașa, daughter of Constantin Brâncoveanu, standing in a period dress and holding the deed of gift. Karl Storck made the plaster model, advised on the costume by Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu, and his eldest son Carol Storck carved it in marble in 1881. The marble pedestal bears the Brâncoveanu coat of arms and lists the estates given to the church.

The Carrara marble statue was made in 1881 by Karl Storck, who modelled it in plaster; his eldest son Carol Storck carved it in marble. It first stood in the courtyard of the Brâncoveanu foundations on Calea Rahovei, beside the Romanian school founded in 1745 and the almshouse of 1751. When those buildings were demolished in the 1980s the statue vanished, and it was returned to the churchyard in 1992, placed to the north.

This monument honors a woman who devoted herself to helping others during her lifetime, reflecting how Romania chose to commemorate female members of the nobility. It shows that women from the upper classes could have their stories preserved through public monuments.

The statue stands in the courtyard of Domnița Bălașa Church at Str. Sfinții Apostoli 60, sector 5, south of the church building. It was moved here in 1992 and placed facing north. The church and its grounds can be visited during services and opening hours; the monument is listed as LMI B-III-m-B-20052.

The monument carries the registration number B-III-m-B-20052 and ranks among the rare surviving honors to female nobility in Romania's public spaces. This rarity makes it a noteworthy example of female recognition within the country's architectural and monument landscape.
