Andrei Mureșanu 1816-1863

A public artwork in Sibiu (Hermannstadt) commemorating Andrei Mureșanu (1816–1863), Romanian poet, journalist, and revolutionary of the Transylvanian national awakening. In 1848 Mureșanu wrote "Un răsunet", a poem that was later adopted as the Romanian national anthem "Deșteaptă-te, române!" ("Awaken thee, Romanian!"). The memorial marks his significance in the 1848–49 revolution, during which he campaigned for national unity and the emancipation of Romanians in Transylvania.
