Alba Iulia, Historic fortress town in Alba County, Romania
The Vauban-style Alba Carolina Fortress spans 110 hectares with seven bastions, featuring three gates decorated with baroque sculptures and military architecture.
The city served as the capital of the independent Principality of Transylvania from 1542 to 1690, marking its role in regional governance.
The National Museum of Unification contains 130,000 artifacts documenting Romanian history through archaeological findings, medieval weapons, and traditional costumes.
The central train station connects Alba Iulia to major Romanian cities, while the nearby airports of Sibiu and Cluj-Napoca provide international access.
The Batthyaneum Library, established in 1784, holds the Codex Aureus, an 8th-century manuscript containing Latin Gospels written in gold letters.
