It is a concrete cube clad in white marble, with the names of the prisons in which anti-communist prisoners suffered written in black marble on its side. The cube symbolizes a prison cell.

Shot Pillars Memorial (Erschossene Säulen)

Highlight • Monument

The bronze sculptures by Liviu Mocanu, popularly known as the "Shot Columns", commemorate the fighters against the Ceaușescu dictatorship and for freedom and democracy. During the 1989 revolution, 26 people died in Cluj-Napoca, 13 of them in Piața Unirii. Another 57 people were injured, 28 of them in this square. The monument, erected in 2003, consists of seven cylindrical parts, each of which is between two and a half and three and a half meters high, each of which bears the symbolic marks of bullets. Next to it are two bronze plaques engraved with the names of the 13 victims.

Matei Corvin Street

Highlight • Settlement

From Unirii Square, Strada Matei Corvin leads to the birthplace of this former Hungarian king. The cobbled street is flanked by restaurants and pubs that, when the weather is nice, have tables set up outside for their guests and attract them with elaborate lighting from hundreds of light bulbs.

Matthias Corvinus House

Highlight • Historical Site

The "Casa Matei Corvin" is the birthplace of the future Hungarian king. It is the oldest secular building in the city, built in the 15th century in the Gothic style as a small guesthouse. Matthias Corvinus ("the Raven") was born here on February 23, 1443. He ascended the Hungarian throne in 1458 at the age of fourteen. In gratitude for the hospitality that the house owner Jakab Méhffi had once shown his heavily pregnant mother, King Matthias decreed in 1467 that Méhffi and all his descendants were exempt from all taxes and duties. Over the course of its history, the house served as a prison, hospital and museum. Today it houses an institute for fine arts at the local art and design college.

Carolina Obelisk

Highlight • Monument

Since 1968, the Carolina Obelisk has stood in the middle of Museum Square in front of the Franciscan Church, after it was moved here from Unirii Square. Abraham Cürös and Samuel Nagy created this oldest secular monument in the city. The occasion was the visit of the Austro-Hungarian imperial couple Franz I and his fourth wife Karoline Auguste. They had travelled to Klausenberg in 1917 to calm the waves that the city had suffered during the famines caused by the Napoleonic Wars. However, the emperor and his wife did not get to see the obelisk, whose corners are accentuated by four eagles with laurel leaves. It was not completed until much later and inaugurated in 1831.

Pond and Pavilion — Central Park, Cluj-Napoca

Highlight • Lake

Since the beginning of the 19th century, the Central Park on the south bank of the Someșul Mic has been a popular meeting place. Its history begins in 1827, when the Jóltevö Asszonyi Egyesület organization leased the undeveloped land to create a recreational area for citizens. The park was opened to the public in the early 1830s and was originally called the People's Garden. Today, the Central Park is one of the most important green spaces in the city center.
