The Wesselényi Monument (Monumentul Wesselényi, Wesselényi szobra) is a monument in Zalău, Romania. This classified historic monument, conceived by János Fadrusz and opened on September 18, 1902, represents Miklós Wesselényi protectively embracing an old serf. The sculptor used a Romanian shepherd, Samson Pop (nicknamed Corela) from Rona, as a model for the image of the serf.
