Lăzarea / Gyergyószárhegy, Székely Land, Transylvania









The most important and attractive feature of the village is the Lázár Castle. The main building, the residence was erected between 1450 - 1532. In the late 16th century Gabriel Bethlen, the future prince of Transylvania, was brought up in the castle and his upstairs room in the gate tower can still be seen unto this day. In 1631, the castle was transformed into a magnificent Renaissance residence, and a large courtyard with towers was added. A particularity is that the crenels of the gate side of the courtyard are decorated with fine Renaissance stuccos and paintings.


The castle is situated on a hill above the village, at the limit of the forests. 200 m from castle is a Franciscan monastery built in 1669, where lived Ion Căianu, Catholic monk and humanist of Romanian origin.

Some places in Caraș - Severin County (Mountainous Banat)

Some places in Caraș - Severin County (Mountainous Banat)​







Is the third largest county by surface - 8,514 km² and the population is 274,277. The density - 34 / km² - is the second lowest in country.


The county is practically an immense wilderness, with low mountains covered in thick forests extending on most of its surface and with the most national parks in Romania: three national parks and a nature park. Here are the largest prehistorical forests from temperate and southern Europe.


In the few human settlements situated at long distances one from other live one of the most diverse population of a county in Romania: Romanians, Roma (2.7%), Croats (1.88%), Germans (1.11%), Serbs (1.82%), Hungarians (1.19%) and Ukrainians (0.94%), with smaller groups of Czechs, Bulgars and other nations. The area was always low inhabited, which determined the Austrian administration to start a program of colonisation with Germans, Czechs, Slovaks and other nations, after 1718 when Banat became part of the empire.








Oravița - Anina Railway - the oldest (1863) and finest in Romania, passing through the prehistorical jungle of Nera Gorges - Beușnița National Park. On 34 km is a 340 m level difference, 14 tunnels and 10 viaducts.




















Oravița / Deutsch-Orawitz / Oravicabánya - population 15,564. The locality existed before, but was developed starting with beginning of 18th century, when German colonists have been brought here. Is one of the oldest industrial centers in Europe, together with Reșița and other towns from Banat. After the German element, Romanians from Oltenia and Muntenia have brought and in 1760-1770 Aromanians (Vlachs from Macedonia).


The first theater on the territory of Romania was built and is preserved here, dating from 1817. All the nations in town contributed to its construction, especially the Aromanians.

Danube Delta

Danube Delta





The Maritime Cemetery in Sulina consists of a set of three cemeteries: Christian Cemetery (divided into the C.E.D. Cemetery, Orthodox of Old-Rite-Lipovan Russians, Orthodox Cemetery, Cemetery of the Western European churches), Hebrew Cemetery, Muslim Cemetery.

In 19th century, after becoming a free port, Sulina, once a Greek settlement, became a multicultural town with people from countless western, eastern and southern countries. A visit to the Maritime Cemetery is the best place to get an idea about the cosmopolitan life of the locality at Danube's mouth.

More amazing photos of the cemetery




Thanks to the signing of the Treaty of Adrianoupolis in 1829, that unfettered the Danube grain trade, Sulina, by then under Russian control, became important. Great sailing boats could not sail fully loaded to Brăila and Galaţi, which were the main export centres of Wallachia and Moldavia, because of the shallow waters of the river; therefore, they had to tranship at least part of their cargoes to smaller riverboats (shleps). The owners and crew of these sleps were almost always Greek.


Even greater development, however, would occur after the signing of the Treaty of Paris (1856), which ended the Crimean War. One of the treaty’s terms determined the establishment of a certain committee, the Danube European Committee(C.E.D.), which would conduct infrastructure works on the mouth of the river in order to make it floatable for larger ships as well. The technical works allowed entrance to the Danube for a great number of “foreign”, i.e. non-Greek ships, leading to a higher level of competition. River faring, however, largely remained in Greek hands. Moreover, the declaration by the Ottoman administration of Sulina as a free port in 1870 also boosted its development.

Dealu Ștefăniței viaducts, Northern Transylvania​









60 km long, the Salva - Vișeu railway was built in 1939-1949 to link Transylvania with Maramureș. Going along the wild valley of Sălăuța River, this is one of the three most spectacular railways in Romania (the other two being Oravița - Anina and Jiu Defile), with its tall viaducts and the long tunnels, including a tunnel of 2,388 m.

Most of the viaducts are situated near Dealu Ștefăniței and Romuli, two villages at the border between Transylvania and Maramureș.

Photos date from 1997-98, when steam locomotives were ocassionally still used.
