Arad

Among Romania’s regions, Arad stands out for its position on the Mureș River at the edge of the country’s western plain. The city is the seat of Arad County and an important urban centre in Crișana, close to the Hungarian border. Its river corridor connects lowland landscapes with the hills farther east, setting it apart from Romania’s more mountainous interior. Arad’s built heritage includes the 18th-century Fortress of Arad, a Vauban-style bastioned complex on the Mureș’s south bank, while the central streets retain much of their Austro-Hungarian-era character.
