The “Carolina” Obelisk

The “Carolina” Obelisk The “Carolina” Obelisk (The Museum Square) is the oldest lay monument of the city. The statue is a commemorative column, set up to commemorate the visit of the Emperor Francis the First and his wife Carolina Augusta, between 18th and 27th of August 1817. The Emperor attended the ceremony, celebrating the Day of Saint Stephan, (August 20th), chaired the meeting and visited the City Hospital. In order to build the statue, the Emperor's approval was necessary and funding was raised among the inhabitants of Cluj, but the statue was finished thanks to the financial help of the city District Attorney, Topler Imre. It was inaugurated on the 4th of October 1831, on Saint Francis’s Day. The ten meter obelisk, the angel wearing the effigy in a crown of laurels and the four stone eagles that hold laurels in their peaks are a masterpiece of Anton Csürös and Nagy Samuel. The two Biedermeyer style bas-reliefs showing the symbol of the city constitute a masterpiece of the renowned Viennese sculptor Iosif Klieber. In the Eastern part, there is an image of the place where the Emperor and his wife entered (also known as the Main City Gate); in the Western part there is an image of the Emperor and his wife's visit to the hospital, offering money to poor woman standing on her knees at the gate. As a special feature, the sculptor molded a gas lamp, but this sort of technique was only used in Cluj in 1827. Carolina Augusta offered the Hospital from Museum Square a donation and starting with 1818 the hospital bore the name Carolina Hospital, and was destroyed in 1914. The Carolina Hospital was initially placed in what is now known as Union Square (the old Great Square). In 1898, during the city restructuring, it was moved to the Museum Square (the old Small Square).
