Hunedoara, Medieval castle and industrial center in Hunedoara County, Romania

The city extends through the eastern foothills of Poiana Ruscăi Mountains, with the Corvin Castle standing prominently in the urban landscape at 278 meters elevation.

The settlement gained prominence in 1265 and later developed into a major iron production hub with the establishment of numerous furnaces in the 18th century.

The Corvin Castle represents the Gothic architectural style, featuring multiple towers, bastions, and an interior courtyard that demonstrates medieval construction techniques.

The municipality administers five surrounding villages and maintains direct road connections to neighboring cities through national roads DN68 and DN687.

The local metallurgical complex, established in 1884, transformed into the largest steel facility in Romania during the 20th century.
