Carol I statue and Central Library, Bucharest #62896272
Description
Equestrian statue of Carol I of Romania. Created in 1930 by the Croatian sculptor Ivan MeÃ
¡troviÃâ¡, the statue was destroyed in 1948 by the Communists, who never paid damages to the sculptor. In 2005, the Romanian Minister of Culture decided to recreate the destroyed statue from a model that was kept by MeÃ
¡troviÃâ¡'s family. In 2007, the Bucharest City Hall assigned the project to the sculptor Florin Codre, who is going to design an original statue of Carol inspired by MeÃ
¡troviÃâ¡'s model.
