The sculpture is located in Târgu Jiu, Romania, and is part of a larger sculptural ensemble honoring the Romanian soldiers who defended the city during World War I. Erected in 1938, the column is made of cast iron and steel clad in bronze and stands nearly 30 meters (96.2 feet) high. It is composed of 15 full rhomboidal modules and two half-modules at the ends, symbolizing the "Infinite Sacrifice" of the soldiers and the concept of infinite growth. The work is considered a masterpiece of 20th-century sculpture and has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
