Cluj Napoca Info

Cluj - Napoca, the largest city in the region of Transylvania, traces its origins back to a Dacian settlement (called Napuca) in the 2-nd century A.D.   After the Roman take-over of Dacia, Napuca became a Roman fort "Napoca" and in 124 A.D., received the rank of "municipium". The city quickly advanced socially and economically and during Marcus Aurelius' reign Napoca received the title "colonia", the highest possible urban status in the Roman Empire.
The name Cluj comes from Castrum Clus, first used in the 12-th century as the name of the citadel surrounding the city.   Clus means "closed" in Latin and refers to the hills that surround the city.
Known as Klausenburg to the Germans* and Kolosvar to the Hungarians, Cluj became Cluj Napoca in the 1970s, when the old Roman name of the city was added to emphasize its Dacian-Roman origin.

Cluj is a vibrant cultural and education centre with a dynamic economy. The city has the highest ratio of students to total number of residents, in Romania, due to its seven state and three private universities.

Cluj Napoca main square: Piata Unirii (Union Square), resplendent with 18th and 19th century buildings, is dominated by the 15th century St. Michael's Church, one of the finest examples of gothic architecture in Romania,   and the 18-th century baroque Banffy Palace - home of the Romanian art collections of Cluj Art Museum and of the weaponry museum.   Many shops and restaurants are located in or near Piata Unirii.

Cluj - Napoca is one of the seven walled citadels (Siebenbürgen*), founded, in the Middle-Ages, and populated, until late 1960s, by the Transylvanian Saxons.  The other Siebenbürgen citadels are   Bistrita (Bistritz),   Brasov (Kronstadt),   Medias (Mediasch),   Sebes (Mühlbach),   Sibiu (Hermannstadt),   Sighisoara (Schässburg).
The ancestors of the modern Transylvanian Saxons (people of German ethnicity who have settled in Transylvania from the mid-12th century until mid-19th century) originally came from the contemporary Low Countries (more specifically the regions of Flanders, Hainaut, Brabant, Liège, or Zeeland) as well as the Moselle and Lorraine river valleys, and, very importantly, Luxembourg as well, then situated in the north-western territories of the Holy Roman Empire around the 1140s (Wikipedia).

Although olive trees require a Mediterranean-like climate to survive, hundreds of wild olive trees can be found in Aurel Vlaicu and Grigorescu neighborhoods of Cluj-Napoca. Historians believe that olive trees grow in Cluj since early 1600s and, have risen from the olive stones left in the area by the Ottoman Army that sieged Cluj in 1609. ried olives were found in every Ottoman soldier's knapsack and used as a remedy for cold, dysentery and to strengthen immunity.

Cluj Sights and Landmarks

Union Square

Piata Unirii
The St. Michael's Church dominates the Union Square, an area surrounded by Baroque, Gothic, Renaissance and NeoClassical buildings, among which the Banffy Palace - arguably Romania's most representative Transylvanian-Baroque structure. Flanking the church on the south side is a 1902 equestrian statue of the 15-th century ruler, Matei Corvin. In the southwest corner of the square stands Hotel Continental, built in 1895 in an eclectic style combining Renaissance, classical and baroque elements. During World War II, the hotel served as the German military headquarters in Transylvania. On the other side of the square is the Hintz House, former home of Cluj's first and longest-running pharmacy (1573-1949), now Pharmacy Museum of Cluj-Napoca

St. Michael's Church

Biserica Sfantul Mihail
Address: Piata Unirii
St. Michael's Church is one of the most beautiful gothic monuments in Transylvania. It was erected between 1350 and 1487 on the site of the former St. Jacob's Chapel. The oldest part of the church is the altar, built around 1390, while the newest is the bell-tower, neo-gothic style (1860).   The star-shaped vault, the stained-glass windows and the sculptures impress with their beauty and grandeur. Recent restorations revealed early 15th century murals.

Banffy Palace

Palatul Banffy
Address: Strada Iuliu Maniu 30
An imposing former residence of the Austro-Hungarian governors, Banffy Palace was designed by the German architect, Johann Eberhard Blaumann, for then-governor of the city, Banffy Gyorgy. Built between 1774 and 1775, Banffy Palace is considered the most representative example of Transylvanian-Baroque. In 1951, the palace became the home of the Cluj National Art Museum.

Calvinist Reformed Church

Biserica Reformata
Address: Str. Mihail Kogalniceanu 16
The building of this impressive church began in 1486 and was completed around 1516, with a pulpit added in 1646. The church, one of the largest in southeastern Europe, is a perfect illustration of the late gothic architectural style. Created in 1373 by the masters Martin and George of Cluj, the statue of St. George slaying the dragon, which stands in front of the church, was inspired by one of the world's most famous equestrian sculptures, a 14-th century statue displayed in centre of Prague. Organ concerts are frequently held in the church.

St. Peter and Paul Church

Biserica Sf. Petru si Pavel
Address: Blvd. 21 Decembrie 1989, nr. 85
Named for the apostles Peter and Paul, this gothic church was built in 1711, on the foundation of a 14th-century church, and rebuilt between 1844 and 1848.   An imposing portal, above church's entrance was built after the Black Death struck the town (1738-1742):   statue of Saint Archangel Michael flanked on the left by John the Baptist, Saint Sebastian and Saint Charles Borromei, and on the right by Saint John the Evangelist, Saint Rocus and Saint John Nepomuc. The portal was moved here in 1899 from its former location at St. Michael's Church.   A beautiful baroque work , the statue of St. Mary, by sculptor Schenbauer Antal, created in 1744 can be admired in the church's backyard.

Tailors' Bastion

Bastionul Croitorilor
Address: Piata Baba Novac
Dating from 1475, Tailors' Bastion is one of the two structures, once part of the old fortified town, still standing. The other defending tower that has survived for more than five centuries is the Firemen's Tower.

Fortress Hill

Dealul Cetatuia
For the best views of the city and the surrounding landscape, climb some 200 feet up Fortress Hill. The name refers to an Austrian fortress built here in the 18-th century to ensure control, rather than defense, of the city.
The fortress also served occasionally as a prison, and it was here that Stephan Ludwig Roth, the 1848 hero of the Transylvanian Saxons, was held, accused of high treason and executed at the northern gate on May 11, 1849.

Historic Churches Franciscan Monastery and Church

Manastirea si Biserica Franciscana
Address: Str. Victor Deleu 4
Open: daily 7 a.m. - 7 p.m.
Free admission
One of the city's oldest structures, the Franciscan Monastery was built in the 15-th century on the site of an older church dating from 1273 and handed to the Dominican order by ruler Iancu de Hunedoara in 1455. Located at the south of the monastery complex, the church was offered as a gift to the Franciscans who restored it in baroque style around the year 1728.

Cathedral of the Transfiguration

Catedrala Schimbarea la Fata
Address: Blvd. Eroilor 10

In 1764, the church was bought by Franciscan monks living on the outskirts of Cluj. Its tower practically crumbled 15 years later, thus destroying the whole frontispiece. Restoration work began in 1783 and the church was rebuilt in baroque style. In 1924, it was donated to the Romanian Greek-Catholic Church.

St. Mary Calvaria Church

Biserica Romano-Catolica Calvaria
Address: Str. Manasturului 60
A powerful Benedictine abbey stood once at the western gates of the city, in the oldest quarter of the town. The abbey was known under the name Monasterium Beaae Mariae de Clus and it enjoyed outstanding rights and privileges. Benedictine monks settled in towards the end of the 11-th century. During the Tartar invasion of 1241, the abbey was pillaged and burned down. The building was restored in 1263 and the current monastery of Calvaria was built between 1470 and 1508 in gothic style.
Over the years, the monastery enjoyed periods of prosperity, but also underwent times of decay. In 1787, after the war against the Turks, Bishop Alexandru Rudnai decided to have both the church and the surrounding fortifications pulled down; only the altar was spared and it was later turned into a chapel. Nothing was left of the artistic assets of the church, except for a statue of the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus; the statue currently stands on a pedestal, under a gothic baldachin, above the entrance door. The chapel, dating to 1831, and the belfry, designed in 1922 by the renowned Hungarian architect Karoly Koos are noteworthy.

Cluj-Napoca, the ‘capital’ of Transylvania, has a large student population and an arty vibe with excellent clubs and some of Europe’s best-loved electronic music festivals (The Guardian - UK).

Jewish Cluj-Napoca

The New Synagogue

Sinagoga Noua
Address: Str. Horea 21
The original grand Moorish-style synagogue, better known as the Memorial Temple of the Deportees, was designed by architect Hegner Izidor and inaugurated on September 4th, 1887.
40-years later the synagogue was damaged by nationalistic Fascist organization "the Iron Guard" and, restored soon after with funding provided by the Romanian government.
In 1940 northern Transylvania was occupied by Hungary and the synagogue was transformed in a storage facility.
In 1942 the synagogue was damaged again following the bombing of Cluj. It was repaired three years later and completely restored in 1951.
