Deva

Deva combines the practical tempo of a county seat with the dramatic presence of a hilltop fortress in a way that reflects its position in the Mureș Valley of western Transylvania. Deva Fortress rises from a volcanic hill above the city; first recorded in 1269, it once controlled an important route through the valley. The ruins remain Deva’s defining landmark, reached by paths or an inclined lift, while the streets below form the administrative centre of Hunedoara County. The Mureș, one of Romania’s major west-flowing rivers, shapes the broad corridor around the town. Place Deva in its wider Transylvanian setting by browsing webcams across Hunedoara.
