The Statue of „Saint George Killing the Dragon” (Mihail Kogalniceanu Street)
The original statue was made from bronze in 1373 by the local sculptors Martin and Gheorghe, the sons of the painter Nicolae from Cluj, and is the first public equestrian statue of Early Renaissance. King Carol the 4th of Bohemia ordered the statue, nowadays being located in the Royal Palace of Prague.
The copy of the statue was unveiled around 1900 and it was made by Kalman Lux (1880-1961) and it is now located in front of Reformed Church on Mihail Kogalniceanu street.
