History

This triumphal arch was the condition for the reinstallation of the Statue of Liberty in the Reconciliation Park. The triumphal arch bears the reliefs of the leaders of the Vlach movements in Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania in 1848, including Nicolae Bălcescu, Avram Iancu and M. Kogălniceanu. Avram Iancu (1824-1872) was a Transylvanian Vlach lawyer and leader of the Vlach uprising in Transylvania against the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence in 1848-49. They supported the Habsburg oppressors. His troops massacred thousands of Hungarian civilians, wiping out entire villages, taking advantage of the fact that the Hungarian soldiers were busy liberating Transylvania from Austrian rule.
