- Tg. Jiu town: Brancusi monumental sculptures. His creation talks about magic, myths, folklore and exotic cultures who all forms a particular contrast with the vanguard tendencies of his times. The Table of Silence, The Kiss Gate and the Endless Column are three sculptural components which constitute homage to the hero soldiers fallen during the First World War;

- Horezu Monastery, founded in 1690 by Prince Constantin Brâncoveanu It is considered to be a masterpiece of "Brâncoveanu style", known for its architectural purity and balance, the richness of its sculpted detail, its treatment of religious compositions, its votive portraits and its painted decorative works.
