Statuie Mircea cel Batran, Ramnicu Valcea, Ghid vizitatori și ce de văzut în apropiere

The statue of Mircea cel Bătrân in the centre of Râmnicu Vâlcea, Romania, commemorates the medieval voivode of Wallachia, one of the best-known rulers in Romanian history. It is an outdoor monument in the middle of town, so it fits easily into a stroll through the city.

Tips for your visit

• The statue is a monument you view from outside, so a few minutes is enough. Allow more time if you pair it with a walk around the surrounding centre.
• Go in daylight for the best view and for photos. Morning and late afternoon are usually calmer in a town centre.
• The statue stands in the central area, so cafes, shops and other streets are close by. Wander a little further on foot to get a feel for the city.
• Conditions around the monument can change, so check local information if you are planning a special visit.
