Arad

Arad sits on the Mureș River in Arad County, western Romania, where the Carpathian foothills give way to the Pannonian Plain. The city developed as an important Habsburg-era administrative and commercial centre, and its broad central boulevards retain an Austro-Hungarian urban character. In the centre, the 19th-century City Hall and its tall clock tower are enduring civic landmarks. Across the river stands the star-shaped Arad Fortress, an 18th-century Habsburg military work that remains in military use. Arad also holds an important place in Romanian national memory: the 13 generals executed here in 1849 are commemorated by the Liberty Statue.
