25 Oct 1944 the battle of Carei - minor skirmish in WWII , but of major importance for Romania this was the day where the last major city was freed from the armies of the III-rd Reich. And ever since the day of 25 in the moth of October is commemorated as the Day of the Romanian Army. The monument is definitely majestic - 18 m (width/span) by 12 m (height) - creation of the artist Vida Geza ( sculptor born in Baia Mare - with Hungarian ancestry, member of the Romanian Communist party and creator of several thematic sculptures and monuments.), when analyzed with due diligence you shall discover several symbols - will not detail those here- but for sure what is worth mentioning is the undoubted influence of the artists roots in Maramures ... (for those of you who've been in Maramures it is obvious for those of you who don't - well it is a point to put on your bucket list !! - "Go visit Maramures!"). Overall a worthy monument (even that is raised in the communist era or Romania, a time of persecution and rewriting of history, elimination of thinkers and intellectual elites. ) erected in the memory of fallen soldiers. If you are in Carei - stop for a few min ... pay your respects - maybe take some pics , it is worth it!!

It's located in the center of Carei and it's a must see if you are in the area. There is a beautiful park next to it where you can spend some time on a sunny day and the castle is also worth admiring. The rooms are nicely decorated and furnished. It also hosts some temporary exhibitions.
