    In front of the building of the National Theatre stand two statues, created to honouring for two great Romanian bards, which has a very important role into the national literature.
    One of those is the Romanian star poet, Mihai Eminescu.
    The other is Lucian Blaga, a great, talented poet that was very important for the Romanian people.
    The complete artwork of the both poets is a great component of the spiritual capital of Romanians.
