Museum of Dacian and Roman Civilisation

The Museum of Dacian and Roman Civilisation holds ancient finds discovered in Deva. The collection includes pottery vessels, tools, and other objects that reveal traces of human life in this region long ago.

The museum was founded in 1882 as the County Museum and is now housed in the Magna Curia Palace from 1621. This residence was built under Prince Gabor Bethlen during a time of major regional change.

The museum displays objects from daily life in ancient times. Visitors see coins, pottery, and personal items that show how people lived here many centuries ago.

The building sits in a central location at the foot of the fortress hill near the city center. Its location makes it easy to find and convenient for visitors exploring the historic area.

Many of the most valuable collections come from the Orăştie Mountains, an area with exceptional archaeological richness. These finds document periods when Deva itself served as a center of regional importance.
