Hi...Here I'll post photos from Cluj-Napoca, the second largest city in Romania and the biggest city from Transylvania.

Avram Iancu Square with his statue and the Orthodox Cathedral. Avram Iancu was the leader of the 1848 Romanian Revolution in Transylvania and he supported the Romanian interests in this revolution.














The pink house, is the house of Alexandru Vaida-Voevod a promoter of the union of Transylvania with Romania

Thank you...I'll go on with this thread, and actually I want to show al city's faces, its buildings, monuments, details of building's architecture. Cluj it's a mixed culture city, with both, romanian and hungarian culture heritage and even german with interesting personalities and stories, mixed religious, orthodox, catholics and protestant churches.

Here's it the Unfication Square with the staue of Matthias Corvinus the King of Hungary. Actually it's a statuary group with 4 characters who had a significant role in the history of Transylvania







Blasius Magyar and Paul Chinezu. Paul Chinezu/Kinizsi Pál was the committee of Timis. In 1479 he defeated the ottoman armies near Șibot (Alba county), and he was the transylvanian military commander of Stefan Bathory, the 4th character from the statuary group.


and Ștefan Szapolyai and Ștefan Báthory. Actually Stefan Bathoy's statue, as face, represents the architect of the statue János Fadrusz.


Here is a small part of the ruins of old Roman settlment "Napoca" or "Clusium". The medieval city overlaps over the Roman settlement.
