The 20-meter-high granite obelisk features a statue of the goddess Victoria and reliefs of the leaders of the 1784 peasant uprising, Horea, Cloșca, and Crișan, who were executed in 1785 for resisting feudal power. Sculptor Iosif Fekete and architect Octavian Mihaltan designed the Art Deco monument with national symbols and historical depictions. The obelisk stands on an artificial hill that once protected the main gate. Because its oak log foundations are crumbling after almost 90 years, the monument shows slight signs of tilting.
