The Tourist Attractions of Cluj-Napoca:
The history of Cluj-Napoca dates back to Roman times though the origins of the present city come more from medieval times when a fortress and several homes were built here. Over the next several hundred years Cluj-Napoca grew in importance and there are still a number of historical landmarks to see in the city today.

Churches in Cluj-Napoca

The major churches are among the most prominent and important landmarks of Cluj-Napoca. St Michael’s Church is the second largest church in Transylvania, but it has the highest tower at 76 metres. This is the city’s Roman Catholic church and it was built in the gothic style between 1442 and 1447. The tower came later, though the one you see today is actually the second tower to have been built, in 1862.

The most famous Romanian Orthodox church in Cluj-Napoca is the Dormition of the Theotokos Cathedral and it’s very striking with its tall, slender central dome and bright white exterior walls. This is a far newer addition to the skyline of Cluj-Napoca as it was built between 1923 and 1933.

Cluj-Napoca Central Park

As an escape from the bustle of the city Cluj-Napoca has a number of public parks of which Central Park is the best known. It features beautiful avenues of trees and was founded in the 19th century. In the centre there is a small lake where rowing boats are available for hire. The park is also home to the Chios Casino.
