The Matthias I sculptural group in Cluj, inaugurated in 1902, underwent no interventions in the second part of the 20th century. Therefore the works, commenced in 2006 and completed in 2010, were long overdue and lead to the conservation of the ensemble in borderline condition. The paper discusses the structural renovation of the sculptural group’s pediment, describing in detail the works carried out on the pedestal supporting King Matthias on his horse, as well as on the plinth that support the secondary figures.
