May 19, 2022 Misti Hsu

Transylvania is a historical region in today's central Romania. Bound on the east and south by its natural borders, the Carpathian mountain range, historical Transylvania extended westward to the Apuseni Mountains. The term sometimes encompasses not only Transylvania proper, but also the historical regions of Crișana and Maramureș, and occasionally the Romanian part of Banat.

The entire area of Trajan Park is worth a visit. The park itself is beautiful and the buildings around it have a special charm. The Palace of Justice is imposing in the landscape through the imposing main facade, the one from Traian Park. The columns with ionic capitel, the rich animal and vegetable ornamentation in stucco from the windows and the statuary group from the level of the cornice are harmoniously combined, so the building will enchant you with its architecture.

Oradea City Hall

The City Hall Palace and Tower THE BUILDING IS THE WORK OF ARCHITECT RIMANÓCZY KÁLMÁN JR., WHO IN 1896 WON THE PROJECT CONTEST FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN OF THE CITY HALL. THE SOLEMN INAUGURATION MEETING OF THE LOCAL COUNCIL WAS HELD IN THE NEWLY-BUILT PALACE ON THE 10th OF JANUARY 1904. THE CITY HALL TOWER With a height of about 50 m and 4 main levels, three of which have observation decks, the City Hall Palace Tower is also hosts the clock announcing the exact time in Oradea. The mechanism of the clock, called the "mother clock", strikes every hour and plays Iancu's March. The local watchmaker Mezey Dezső built the mechanism in the early twentieth century, in 1904. The clock survived two world wars, while the roof and wall of the tower survived the two great fires of 1917 and 1944. The watch dial retains even today bullet holes from gunfires shot during the Second World War. The second level was also the observation point of the city firefighter on duty. Fires were announced by ringing a bell, depending on the area where the fire started. In the daytime, a red flag was unfurled in the direction of the fire, while at night an electric projector was used.

The Clock Tower of Oradea's historic City Hall allows visitors - for a modest fee - an incredible view of Old Town and surrounding hills. There are no elevators and geting to the last level may require some effort, however, if you can, this would be a most rewarding stairs-climbing trip one can take. The clock tower used to serve as a watch point for the city’s firefighters. However ironic, history says that in 1944, the tower along with its top floor and roof took fire. The City Hall Palace and its Clock Tower have been renovated and rebuilt, currently hosting quite a number of visitors every year. On the ground floor, the tower has a pretty gifts shop , were the entrance tickets are sold as well.

Judiciary Hall

Reviewed By florentinadriang - Arad, Romania

I read several rewievs and noticed that tourists confuse this building with that of the Rectorate of Transylvania University. The building of the Palace of Justice in Brasov was erected between 1900-1902 and here are the headquarters of the Court of Appeal, the Prefecture of Brasov and the County Council . The Palace's architecture combines elements of Art Noveau style, neo-Baroque style and elements of French eclecticism.frumoasa cladire, cu siguranta in Top 3 din Brasov.
