Hiking

The bronze sculptures by Liviu Mocanu, popularly known as the "Shot Columns", commemorate the fighters against the Ceaușescu dictatorship and for freedom and democracy. During the 1989 revolution, 26 people died in Cluj-Napoca, 13 of them in Piața Unirii. Another 57 people were injured, 28 of them in this square. The monument, erected in 2003, consists of seven cylindrical parts, each of which is between two and a half and three and a half meters high, each of which bears the symbolic marks of bullets. Next to it are two bronze plaques engraved with the names of the 13 victims.
