Cluj-Napoca Bánffy Palace, Art museum and historic monument in Union Square, Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

The Bánffy Palace spans 66 by 48 meters with a central courtyard of 26 by 26 meters, featuring a triple gallery entrance and stone decorations.

German architect Johann Eberhard Blaumann designed this baroque palace between 1774 and 1785 for György Bánffy, the governor of Transylvania at that time.

The museum displays works by Romanian artists Nicolae Grigorescu and Stefan Luchian alongside European paintings and sculptures from the 16th to 20th centuries.

The Art Museum welcomes visitors from Wednesday through Sunday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, remaining closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

The palace features the largest three-ramp staircase in Transylvania, measuring two meters wide per ramp, with decorative mythological statues adorning its facade.
