Cluj-Napoca City Center

Highlight • Settlement

Cluj-Napoca is a very open-minded city. The people friendly, the staff (real capitalist) innovates, you get what you want, for your money. Taxi very cheap (because taxi makes fun again). And above all: The best garlic I had ever eaten !!! :)

Matei Corvin Street

Highlight • Settlement

From Unirii Square, Strada Matei Corvin leads to the birthplace of this former Hungarian king. The cobbled street is flanked by restaurants and pubs that, when the weather is nice, have tables set up outside for their guests and attract them with elaborate lighting from hundreds of light bulbs.

At the entrance to the Central Park stands the Monument to the Victims of the Anti-Communist Resistance, built in 2006. It is a concrete cube clad in white marble, with the names of the prisons in which anti-communist prisoners suffered written in black marble on its side. The cube symbolizes a prison cell. The monument dedicated to the victims of the anti-communist resistance is the work of the architect Virgil Salvanu from Cluj.

Since the beginning of the 19th century, the Central Park on the south bank of the Someșul Mic has been a popular meeting place. Its history begins in 1827, when the Jóltevö Asszonyi Egyesület organization leased the undeveloped land to create a recreational area for citizens. The park was opened to the public in the early 1830s and was originally called the People's Garden. Today, the Central Park is one of the most important green spaces in the city center.

Carolina Obelisk

Highlight • Monument

Since 1968, the Carolina Obelisk has stood in the middle of Museum Square in front of the Franciscan Church, after it was moved here from Unirii Square. Abraham Cürös and Samuel Nagy created this oldest secular monument in the city. The occasion was the visit of the Austro-Hungarian imperial couple Franz I and his fourth wife Karoline Auguste. They had travelled to Klausenberg in 1917 to calm the waves that the city had suffered during the famines caused by the Napoleonic Wars. However, the emperor and his wife did not get to see the obelisk, whose corners are accentuated by four eagles with laurel leaves. It was not completed until much later and inaugurated in 1831.

Unity Square (Piața Unirii) is the heart of Cluj-Napoca. At 220 by 160 metres, it is one of the largest urban squares in the country. It is dominated by a number of historic buildings such as St. Michael's Church or Banffy Palace, as well as the Matthias Corvinus Monument in its centre. There are paid parking spaces and public toilets here. The remains of Roman buildings (Vestigii romane) can be seen under a glass cover.

Matthias Corvinus Monument

Highlight • Monument

The landmark of Cluj-Napoca is St. Michael's Church (Biserica Sfântul Mihail) in the city center. It is considered the most important example of a three-aisled Gothic hall church in Transylvania. Its construction probably began around 1350 on the site of a former St. James's Chapel. The choir was built in the first phase. The building was originally intended to have two towers, but one remained unfinished. The completed tower on the north side, built between 1834 and 1863 in the neo-Gothic style, is 80 meters high including the cross, making it the highest church tower in Romania. Because of the nearby Cluj airport, a red light flashes at the top. The church is now used by the Roman Catholic community of Cluj. From 1566 until the Counter-Reformation in 1716, St. Michael's Church was the parish church of the Unitarian community. The reformer Franz David held his first anti-Trinitarian sermon here in 1566. At the end of the 18th century, the Unitarian community built its own church, the Unitarian Church. After it was returned to the Catholics, the church was expanded with baroque elements, such as the pulpit, which is crowned by the patron saint, Saint Michael, slaying the dragon.
