Cluj

The terrain of Cluj ranges from the rolling hills of the Someș Plateau in the north and east to the Apuseni Mountains in the west, creating a clear shift from farmland to upland country. At its centre, Cluj-Napoca is one of Romania’s leading university cities and the historic capital of Transylvania. The Someșul Mic crosses the city, while Union Square is framed by the Gothic St Michael’s Church. Beyond the urban core, agricultural valleys, woodland and villages extend towards the mountain edge. The county also includes Turda, known for the vast underground chambers of the Turda Salt Mine. Romanian and Hungarian heritage both shape local architecture, food and daily life.
