Alba County

Alba County extends across 6,242 square kilometers of diverse terrain, including mountains, valleys, and plains crossed by the Mureș River and its tributaries.

The region transformed from Alba de Jos County to its current administrative structure in 1925, marking a significant change in Romanian territorial organization.

The population of 325,941 residents maintains Romanian traditions through regional festivals, folk music performances, and agricultural ceremonies throughout the seasonal calendar.

The territory contains 4 municipalities, 7 towns, and 67 communes, connected through a network of roads and railways following the Mureș River paths.

The mining heritage includes ancient Roman galleries at Roșia Montană, where gold extraction techniques from two millennia remain visible in the mountain landscape.
