Târgu Jiu in County Gorj

Târgu Jiu (also spelled Tîrgu Jiu) is the capital of Gorj County, Oltenia, Romania. It is situated on the Southern Sub-Carpathians, on the east bank of the river Jiu.

Starting with the 1960s, coal surface mining contributed to a rapid population growth. Other local industries include wood, machine building, textiles, glassware and construction materials (cement).

Constantin Brancusi has several large sculptures displayed in Târgu Jiu: The Table of Silence, The Gate of the Kiss, Chairs' Alley and The Endless Column.
