Monument to C. A. Rosetti

The monument depicts the politician and journalist C. A. Rosetti seated in an armchair, meditative, holding the newspaper “Românul”, which he founded, and a quill pen. The work of Wladimir Hegel, cast in bronze in 1902 at the School of Arts and Crafts, it was inaugurated on 20 April 1903, in the presence of Prime Minister Dimitrie A. Sturdza, with money raised by public subscription. The round plaque on the front bears Rosetti's motto, “Luminează-te și vei fi” (“Enlighten yourself and you shall be”), and the bas-reliefs on the pedestal evoke the Union of 24 January 1859 and the proclamation of independence on 9 May 1877.
