Closca (Revolt statuary group) in Cluj, Romania

myminifactory

This one-of-a-kind component forms part of a comprehensive statuary ensemble commemorating Horia, Closca, and Crisan's courageous stand against feudal oppression during the 1784-1785 revolt. Crafted by Ion Vasiliu, this tribute honors the brave fighters who dared to challenge the status quo. The rebellion, though ultimately unsuccessful in achieving its primary objective, left an indelible mark on the nation and neighboring territories. At its core, the uprising aimed to bring about a profound shift: the eradication of feudal serfdom from Romanian society and the realization of equal political rights for the Transylvanian majority population. The movement's leaders sought to bridge the gap between the privileged minority groups – Hungarians, Germans, and Szeklers – and the rest of the community.
