Zalău, Administrative capital in Sălaj County, Romania
Located at an elevation of 275 meters in northwestern Romania, Zalău extends across rolling hills and serves as a regional transportation center.
The settlement, first documented as Villa Ziloc in 1220, received official town privileges from King Matthias Corvinus in 1473 and developed into a self-governing market town.
The Reformed Church, constructed between 1904 and 1907, stands as a central religious building alongside the county museum established in 1951.
The municipality maintains several educational institutions, including two university colleges, public libraries, and multiple accommodation facilities for visitors.
Archaeological discoveries near Zalău include remnants of the Roman Castrum of Porolissum, connecting the area to ancient Dacian civilizations.
