Situated on the Mihail Kogalniceanu Boulevard, opposite to the University, is the first monument of this type uncovered in the Capital, in 1876. Opera made of bronze by the French sculptor Albert Ernest Carriere de Belleuse, the equestrian statue, 2.5 meters high, represents the voivode Mihai Viteazul with his legs supported by the spurs, holding in the right hand the horse's bridles, and in the left hand holding the battle sword, slightly raised to the back, suggesting the calling to the battle addressed to his armies. On the head wears his famous fur cap with plume and tied at his left hip is the sward's sheath. The horse is in a moving position, with its head strained in the rein, the left front leg lifted and the tail "waving".
