Old Town Cluj-Napoca

Cluj-Napoca

National Theatre in Cluj Napoca, Romania
Tailors' bastion is located in the south of Cluj old citadel. It's a nice area close to the city centre and other main attractions.
The Church of Saint Michael is a Gothic-style Roman Catholic church in Cluj-Napoca. It is the second largest church (after the Black Church of Brașov) in the geographical region of Transylvania, Romania. The nave is 50 meters long and 24 meters wide, the apse is 20×10 m. The tower with its height of 76 meter (80 meter including the cross) is the highest one in Transylvania. The western portal is decorated with the three coats of arms of Sigismund as King of Hungary, as King of Bohemia and as Holy Roman Emperor. Source:Wikipedia
Tailors' bastion with Baba Novak statue. Baba Novak is a Serbian-Romanian hero and bandit. He was the right arm of Mihail Viteazul, and Romanians dedicated him a statue that stands exactly on the place of his execution, in front of the Tailors’ Bastion.

We spotted this building on route back from the Turda Salt Mine and then looked it up on the map when we hopped off the bus. It's an Orthodox Cathedral and we were lucky enough to wander in just before an important ceremony. If you're in Cluj on a Sunday at 6pm, I thoroughly recommend you take a peek, it was utterly fascinating to watch.

Central Park in early Spring. The park is very big, and has a nice lake. It's a lovely place where you can rest after sightseeing in the city centre.
