Alba

Alba is best known within Romania for the eighteenth-century Alba Carolina Citadel in Alba Iulia. This central-western county reaches from the Apuseni Mountains into the Mureș valley, where upland ridges, woodland and settled river corridors create markedly different local settings. Alba Iulia has long been a focal point of Romanian political history, and its fortified centre remains the county’s principal urban landmark. Smaller communities across Alba retain strong rural traditions, while the mountains support walking, caving and winter pursuits.
