Statuie Mircea cel Batran, Ramnicu Valcea, Guida per visitatori e cosa fare nei dintorni

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.

See it on a quest

The statue is one stop on Aventura in Ramnicu Valcea - Pe urmele lui Anton Pann, a self-guided walk through the city.
