    It's a nice viking sculpture, actually I would say that it's the most beautiful sculpture in Cluj-Napoca, it's totally worth going and there are many things around to visit too

    An amazing monument, Matthias Rex rising right next to an impressive Cathedral. Plenty of benches nearby ready to offer comfort to a tired tourist'legs, also plenty of outdoor local pubs selling filtered and unfiltered ale for those of usbmore thursty. The food court offers variety in their menus , fish chicken, beef stake.

    What a beautiful place. It demonstrates and documents the old and native Hungarian history of Kolozsvár (Cluj-Napoca).

    If you are in Cluj, take break to visit this place Mathias Rex, beautiful architecture behind the church. You will also find good restaurants near the monument. Take a break and have a visit to Mathias Rex. There is a nice restaurant called Marty Eatery which serves delicious food with loads of options, I personally liked Chicken wings with few chilled pints of beers.

    It is a massive statue complex inaugurated in 1901 representing Mathias Corvinus Rex on a horse and others around him. It is the central piece of the square where it is located. It is a common meeting point, people usually meet at the tail of the horse.

    Cluj-Napoca is one of my favorite cities and it's a must see if you visit Romania.. not only because I've lived and studied there.. because most people don't judge you if you are a bit different! (There are some comunist minded exceptions though) But still.. I <3 Cluj-Napoca and the statue of Mathias Rex is on of the many must see sights from that lovely town!

    A masterful set of statues. The town square is a must see if you're visiting Cluj.
