Memorial of Véczer

At the crossroads of Căpeni stands this solid Szekler obelisk, a reminder of heroic deeds. The plain between Căpeni-Augustin-Baraolt-Racoșul de Sus was the site of several battles during the 1848-49 War of Independence. The Szeklers who died in self-defence are buried in mass graves at the site of the so-called battles of Véczer on 9 and 13 December 1848.
