Women's Cave and Constantin Brancusi Sculptural Ensemble
You'll spend your morning at Women's Cave, which is Romania's most-visited cave for a reason. Inside, there are remains from ancient civilizations and prehistoric animals, including calcified cave bear skeletons that give you a real sense of what lived there thousands of years ago. Later, you'll travel to Targu Jiu to see the Constantin Brancusi Sculptural Ensemble, a symbolic monument with four important sculptures. The Table of Silence, Gate of the Kiss, and Infinity Column are the pieces you'll want to spend time with, each one representing different artistic concepts.
