Small excursion to Cluj Napoca!

As we already arrived to the halftime of the excavation, last Sunday the opportunity was given to visit Cluj-Napoca with the local colleagues, this time acting as our tourist guides for the next few hours. We have been guided around the city to see some of the local sights, like the birth place of King Matthias, the Saint Michael church, which – as we learnt – is the second biggest gothic style sacred building in Transylvania after the Black Church in Brasov.


We spent the rest of our time at the Matthias Square, where a market of handicraft items took place, so we also had the chance to buy some gifts for home. And of course we could not miss the chance of having some refreshments in the city of young university students. Sadly we did not have more time to see some other parts of the city, but hopefully we can return sometime.


After all these things our little group said goodbye to Cluj-Napoca and we headed back to the lovely Alba Iulia fresh with new experiences and ready for the next two weeks!
