Tips

Andrea und Huskys 🐺

August 2, 2024

Since 1968, the Carolina Obelisk has stood in the middle of Museum Square in front of the Franciscan Church, after it was moved here from Unirii Square. Abraham Cürös and Samuel Nagy created this oldest secular monument in the city. The occasion was the visit of the Austro-Hungarian imperial couple Franz I and his fourth wife Karoline Auguste. They had travelled to Klausenberg in 1917 to calm the waves that the city had suffered during the famines caused by the Napoleonic Wars. However, the emperor and his wife did not get to see the obelisk, whose corners are accentuated by four eagles with laurel leaves. It was not completed until much later and inaugurated in 1831.
