About

The monumental spindle on Babelor Hill is about 14 meters long and was made of oak wood by craftsman Petru Godja. This objective pays homage to the bravery of the women who withstood the Tartars in the 1717 invasion. On the four sides of the spindle, four figures of women can be seen, who embody the warrior woman, the hardworking woman, the mother and the widow, in an attempt to capture the personalities of the local brave women who defended their community.
