History

Made in 1969 by József Fekete. Nicolae Balcescu (1819-1852), a Vlach writer, travelled to Bucharest in 1848 on the news of the Hungarian Revolution and took part in the revolution in Wallachia, which was quelled by the Turks. The statue stands in the former Rhédey Garden, donated to the town by Count Rhédey Lajos. His bust can also be found in the park.
