    Brancusi is one of my favorite artists of all time and all his statues are amazing. But this park is a horrible place unfortunately...

    A masterpiece worth seeing. It’s located in a beautiful and quiet park, near the city center. If you go up the alley, you can also admire other pieces of Brâncuși’s work.

    I'll give 5 stars to the monument itself because it is beautiful, breathtaking but beware of the rude guardian watching the monuments. During the pandemic period, the are surrounded by warning tape and cannot be approached.

    In a nice park, close to the silence table, another masterpiece of the faumous Romanian artist Constantin Brancusi.. Dont miss this monuments if you visit Targu-Jiu. You can also take here a walk on the Jiu riverside. Best option to park your car is on the oposite side of the road neibouring the park.

    A place which might be more well known and better presented. Constantin Brâncuși art is still not very appreciated in Romania,unfortunately. When you think about the symbolism behind of this art work you and the way is presented realize how far we(Romania) are from really appreciating Brâncuși work.

    I highly recomend visiting Tg Jiu and the whole Brancusi ensamble. Starting with the Gate of Kiss, continuing with the Table of Silence, going to the church and ending in the parc of the Endless Column. A place with a special healing and positive energy. Second biggest ensemble after the pyramids in Egypt. Stay at Ramada and enjoy their inside and outside pool, have lunch or dinner at Casa Vera, have a glass of local wine next to Europa Hotel. If you chose to stay anywhere else you can stil enjoy the pool at Ramada, the entry fee is 40 ron. I had my nails done and an exquisite facial and massage at the local beaty salons. If you want fresh fruit, there is a market, just google it. For shopping, there is a mall in the city. All in all, I loved Tg Jiu, try local things and there are plenty of activities around ghd city too.

    Part of the Heroes Monument, The Gate of The Kiss stands at the beginning of Brancusi s complex. Made me wonder if it’s for lovers to kiss, or is the triumph arch that kisses visible with the beyond, through which the people must enter to become heroes. What a vision!

    (Translated by Google) It's not about the location, it's enough to say Brâncuşi (Original) Nu e vorba despre locatie, e suficient sa spun Brâncuşi

  • 5/5 Radu 2 years ago on Google
    Very well looked after place, there's some sort of park rangers/police guarding the monuments which ensures they always look amazing. Pretty busy during the afternoon, there's always people taking pictures but it's a nice place to visit. The park is really big, always a shaded area you could sit in or walk around and even visit the island next to it! Would definitely recommend

    Operele de arta marca Bancusi pot fi admirate la Tg. Jiu printre care este Poarta Sarutului - o sculptura din piatra parte a tripticului Ansamblului Monumental din acelasi oras. Pe fețele fiecărei coloane se regăsește simbolul sărutului, două jumătăți ale unui cerc, atât de caracteristic operei lui Brâncuși. Arhitrava are de asemenea încrustat acest simbol, ca un fel de filigran. În plus, tot în filigran se află încrustații ce aduc cu un fel acoperiș al porții, ca și când poarta ar fi acoperită cu șindrilă. Bolta porții are un ornament liniar delicat: este o continuitate de arcuri mici, iar mai sus, pe trei linii orizontale, întâlnim continuarea unor forme ovale identice, de parcă ar fi conturul feței și al umerilor.

    The gate is in a public space, no ticket required. You are free to walk through it as long as you don't touch the gate. A nice place for a walk or some photos

    Un loc placut,dar pacat ca in interiorul parcului nu mai este voie ca terasele sa faca mincare.Gasesti in schimb intr-un loc peste.

  • 5/5 dragos a. 1 year ago on Google
    A monument dedicated to the events of the end of 1918. The Kissing Gate is made up of 2 large, solid pillars, made up of 4 pillars, joined at the top of the beam. The 8 pillars represent the union of the 8 Romanian provinces, and the kiss represents their union.

    The park and monuments here are definetly a place to visit if you are in Tg. Jiu, its one of the maine atractions from the famous sculptor Brancusi, along side the Table of Silence and the Infinite Collumn.

    The Kissing Gate is one of Brancusi's masterpieces and you can find it in the open air in the Central Park. it is made of stone and together with The Table of Silence, The Alley of Chairs and The Endless Column is part of Brancusi's Sculptural Ensemble.

  • 5/5 Ognian V. 1 year ago on Google
    Another unique place to visit to enjoy modern sculpture where it was born in the first place. A great masterpiece, loaded with energy and thoughts.

  • 5/5 Lidia I. 9 months ago on Google
    Always a great place to visit, to admire Maestro Brancus ‘ wonderful and majestic sculptures. The security guts were so helpful in showing us the way to find the souvenir store. Thank you. I recommend Tg. Jiu a stop in your journey to explore Romania.

  • 5/5 mirela v. 9 months ago on Google
    I cross the Central Park in my town every Sunday while going shopping to the local market. It is a kind of ritual for locals to take a walk there and make sure Brancusi ',s masterpiece is there. Early in the morning, when the town is still asleep, you feel like in a fairy tale, when the fresh air and the green of the old trees of the park reveal the stone monument.

  • 1/5 Gina S. 3 years ago on Google
    Lucrările marelui Brâncuși sunt capodopere universale!!! La Poarta. Sărutului și Masa Tăcerii ar trebui investit în acel parc unde miroase numai a urina. Acea alee și felinarele lasă mult de dorit!!! Păcat ca nu știm sa apreciem acele MARI VALORI!!!!!!

  • 1/5 Radu S. 3 years ago on Google
    Nu opera inegalabilului Brancusi a primit o stea de la mine, ea nu poate fi estimata in stele. O stea a primit experienta mea ultima cu cei care au pus mana pe Poarta, de fapt au luat-o cu japca de la poporul roman si se erijeaza in mari aparatori ai culturii nationale. Doi politai locali din astia facuti la duzina pazesc "pietrele" sa nu vina cineva sa le fure! Sau sa le atinga! Asta este cultura "dupe Jii". O stea cu indulgenta!

    Frumos parcul in care se află monumentele, extrem de aglomerat in weekend dar nu contează, spațiu e destul. Orașul e neașteptat de frumos și curat! O informație interesantă: in zona pieței centrale, intr-o locație modestă, am mâncat cei mai buni mici din România!

    Poarta sărutului este o sculptură în piatră, realizată de Constantin Brâncuși, parte a tripticului Ansamblului Monumental din Târgu Jiu. Lucrarea a fost amplasată pe locul ei în luna octombrie 1937 și a fost sculptată în prima parte a anului 1938, fiind finalizată la 20 septembrie și inaugurată la 27 octombrie 1938. Originea proiectului Ca și în cazul Coloanei infinitului, ideea Porții era mult mai veche decât momentul transpunerii în piatră a monumentului. În 1907, Brâncuși realizase o primă versiune a Sărutului care, simplificată, devenea în 1910 monument funerar în cimitirul Montparnasse. În 1916, sculptorul termina o Coloană a sărutului, alcătuită prin asamblarea a 4 blocuri pe care figurile și trupurile, aproape contopite, abia se mai deosebesc, fiind parcă prefăcute în două stane vecine, încremenite pe cele patru laturi ale acestui fragment arhitectural. Catalogul expoziției personale deschise de Brâncuși în 1933—34 la Brummer Gallery din New York menționează, de asemenea, prezența unei „Coloane a sărutului” ca parte a proiectatului Templu al contemplației, pe care sculptorul urma să-l ridice în Indore. Referindu-se la aceste coloane, Brâncuși îi mărturisea sculptoriței Malvina Hoffman : „La început am săpat în piatră grupul celor două făpturi înlănțuite..., în urmă, după lung timp m-a purtat gândul spre chipul unei porți prin care să se poată trece dincolo. Acum am intenția, să dezvolt siluetele în motivul de deasupra porții”. Motivul sărutului prezentat pe stîlpii laterali sub forma stilizată a unor pupile uriașe este regăsit de-a lungul lintoului Porții. Brâncuși spunea „Ce e sus mic, jos este mărit”.
