Cluj-Napoca (Kolozsvar in Hungarian, Klausenburg in German), regarded as one of Transylvania's historic capitals, stands as one of Romania's most important university, cultural, and industrial centers.

The old town of Cluj-Napoca captivates with the richness of its Gothic and Baroque architecture: the Roman Catholic Church of St. Michael, one of the city's oldest religious monuments; the house where Matei Corvin was reportedly born, dating to the 15th century; Banffy Castle, built in the 18th century in Baroque style, which now houses the Art Museum. You can also admire the Orthodox Cathedral, and the National Theatre and Opera House, showcasing Baroque and Rococo elegance.
