For a period (in 1600), he was de facto leader of the three great medieval countries that make up Romania today: the Romanian Country, Transylvania and Moldova. Before coming to the throne, as a boyar, he held the domains of the Strehaia, stolnicdomes and bribes of Craiova.

Pentru o perioadă (în 1600), a fost conducător de facto al celor trei mari țări medievale care formează România de astăzi: Țara Românească, Transilvania și Moldova.

A great monument built for one of Romania's greatest national heroes, Michael the Brave. It stands tall in a paved square on the main pathway within the Alba Iulia citadel. He lived between 1558 and 1601 and is regarded by Romanians as being the most important symbol of Romanian unity. During his reign (1593-1601) he was Prince of Wallachia, Moldavia, and Transylvania, thus being the first ruler to unite all 3 principalities inhabited by Romanians.

Everything started from him. Finally, the dream came true.

(Translated by Google) Very nice. It is a statue of decent size, but it is built with attention to detail rarely seen in Romania today (Original) Foarte frumos. Este o statuie de marime decenta, dar este construita cu o atentie la detalii rar intalinita in Romania in zilele de azi

Very nicely done. Also in this style is a statue of him in Iași in the Copou area.
