The Sculptural Ensemble of Constantin Brâncuși at Târgu Jiu (Romanian: Ansamblul sculptural Constantin Brâncuși de la Târgu-Jiu) is an homage to the Romanian heroes of the First World War. The ensemble comprises three sculptures: The Table of Silence (Masa tăcerii), The Gate of the Kiss (Poarta sărutului), and the Endless Column (Coloana fără Sfârșit) on an axis 1.3 km (3⁄4 mile) long, oriented west to east. The ensemble is considered to be one of the great works of 20th-century outdoor sculpture. The ensemble was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2024.
