Children's Fountain
The Children's Fountain, in the small square where Dionisie Lupu Street meets Jules Michelet and Pitar Moș streets, is considered one of the major works of the sculptor Ioan Iordănescu (1881–1950). The marble blocks depict three children: one climbs the rocks and touches a bird's nest, the second looks down in fright and no longer dares to climb, and the third, a little girl, holds a fish from whose mouth water used to flow. The work is included in the List of Historic Monuments.
