The Monument to Ferdinand I (Romanian: Monumentul lui Ferdinand I) was a prominent monument in Chişinău, Moldova.
The building of the monument was decided at a meeting held in Chişinău on 16 January 1937 and led by Gherman Pântea and Elefterie Sinicliu.[1]
It was located on an axis aligned with the Triumphal Arch and Chișinău Cathedral, whereby the statue of the king faced the cathedral.
