CENTRE-VILLE

The central square, piața Mihai Viteazul, houses a statue of the voivode, a native of the city. Bordered by a park, where the Sfânta Treime church stands, this mineral square is dominated by the prefecture, an imposing neo-Romanian building dating from 1913. Calea Unirii, which crosses the town from north to south, also passes through here: here and for 300 m the avenue is pedestrianised. Noteworthy buildings include the Madona Dudu church (1929), in the street of the same name, and the university, which occupies a massive 1890 building at the corner of calea București and strada Arieș.
