Sculptor Constantin BrΓncu║i, born in the village of Hobi■a in 1876, was the founder of the world famous school of Romanian sculpture. The monumental complex at TΓrgu Jiu, dedicated to the Romanian heroes in World War I, was inaugurated in 1938 and represents the result of BrΓncu║iÆs work for more than 20 years.
The sculptures making up the complex have been on display in two parks on the left bank of the Jiu River since 1956. The ôTable of Silenceö, ôThe Chair Alleyö and the ôKiss Gateö can be seen in the Central Park. ôThe Infinity Columnö and ôThe Table of Silenceö are to be found in the Youth Park.
