Monumentul Eroilor Pompieri din București, Historic monument in Bucharest, Romania.
The Firemen Heroes Monument is a historical memorial with a pyramidal stone base that supports four life-sized statues and bronze relief panels. A bronze lion statue crowns the top of the entire structure.
The monument was built in 1929, funded by military veterans and officers as a tribute to engineering troops who served in the Romanian Army. These units played a crucial role in military operations during the World War I period from 1916 to 1918.
The monument serves as a place where visitors pause to acknowledge the sacrifice of engineering troops, with inscriptions recognizing their service. The four statues represent different roles within the military engineering corps and reflect the variety of their contributions.
The monument stands at the intersection of Bulevardul Geniului and Bulevardul Iuliu Maniu and is accessible throughout the year. The location offers clear sightlines from the street, making it easy to view the structure and its details from multiple angles.
Parts of the original inscriptions were modified or removed during the communist era, and traces of these changes remain visible on the stone surface today. These alterations tell their own story about how political shifts shaped the monument over time.
