This imposing obelisk is the work of sculptor I. Fekete and architect O. Mihăilean and is 22.5 m tall. It was erected in 1947 and honours the memory of Horea, Cloșca and Crișan, the three leaders of the peasant rebellion of 1787, who were tortured to death by order of the Habsburgs. The obelisk stands at the entrance of the Tower of Alba Iulia on the Furcilor Hill.
