Field of Liberty

The space surrounded by trees is where two national assemblies were held during the revolution of 1848, also known as the Spring of Nations. The first took place in May and the second in September. In order to commemorate these events, a "Glory" monument was erected here, surrounded by 26 busts of prominent revolutionary activists and representatives of Romanian culture.

It is worth mentioning that on June 2, 2019, Pope Francis announced the beatification of seven Greek Catholic Romanian bishops who were martyred under the communist regime. They were Vasile Aftenie, Ioan Bălan, Tit Liviu Chinezu, Valeriu Traian Frențiu, Iuliu Hossu, Alexandru Rusu and Ioan Suciu.
