Obelisk of Horea, Cloșca, and Crișan

Mihai Viteazul ("Michael the Brave Street"), in front of the third gate of the Alba Carolina Citadel.

It commemorates the Revolt of 1784–1785 in the Apuseni Mountains, led by the peasants Horea (Vasile Ursu Nicola, 1731–1785), Cloșca (Ion Oarga [ro], 1747–1785) and Crișan (Marcu Giurgiu [ro], 1733–1785), in protest of the poor living and working conditions of feudal serfs in the Principality of Transylvania.

The northwest side of the monument faces the Citadel gate and features a tableau of Horea, Cloșca, and Crișan.

The southeast side of the monument faces the lower town of Alba Iulia and depicts the winged goddess Victoria, holding a wreath in her right hand.

At the base of the monument is a jail cell with wrought iron doors, symbolizing the repression of the revolt.
