I'll give 5 stars to the monument itself because it is beautiful, breathtaking but beware of the rude guardian watching the monuments. During the pandemic period, the are surrounded by warning tape and cannot be approached.

The Endless Column is a great place, full of a peaceful charging. It is one of the three ensembles in Tg Jiu town connected to Divinity and Romanian Folklore: the Table of Silence, the Gate of Kiss and the Endless Column. The Table of Silence represents the Last Supper, when Lord Jesus ate His last supper surrounded by his twelve disciples. The Gate of Kiss represents the unity of a man and his wife, the love a couple shares for one another. The Endless Column stands for the endless dedication of Romanian soldiers that fought for their country in World War I. Other art critics say that this Column represents the man's spirit who strives for eternal greatness. The entire ensemble is guarded by police officers and cannot be touched. The most interesting thing that connects the three monuments, is that they are perfectly aligned within a radius of 1,2 km and that between the Gate of Kiss and The Endless Column there is a church that signifies the connection with the Divinity: they all depict the connection between past history (our Lord Jesus), life itself (love within lovers) and the future we all strive for - a better life past our current one.
As a Romanian, if you still wonder what to do, think of Brancusi.
Really nice! peaceful and quiet
Rare sight, well guarded and monitored, perfect spot for a run.
Our national pride! If you're passing by, you HAVE to visit this.
I do not know why, but this statue gives me a certain feeling. I am not into art, I do not have the right culture, but this one is able to close the gap and make me \feel\. Go see it and watch it from below
The Endless Column is a masterpiece by Romanian sculpture Constantin Brancusi. It symbolises the endless gratitude to the form heroes slain in World War I. Just under 30 metres tall the monument was dedicated on Oct 27, 1938 and restored in December 2000. The Endless Column is like a timeless song that lifts us into infinity, beyond all suffering and artificial joy. The column forms part of a series of sculptures by the father of modern sculpture Constantin Brancusi, erected in Targu-Jiu between 1937 and 1938. The Table of Silence, The Alley of Stools and the Gate of the Kiss on the Avenue of Heroes are the others.
