It is the second largest church (after the Black Church of Brașov) in the geographical region of Transylvania, Romania. The nave is 50 meters long and 24 meters wide, the apse is 20×10 m. The tower with its height of 76 meter (80 meter including the cross) is the highest one in Transylvania. The western portal is decorated with the three coats of arms of Sigismund as King of Hungary, as King of Bohemia and as Holy Roman Emperor. Source:Wikipedia

Central Park in early Spring. The park is very big, and has a nice lake. It's a lovely place where you can rest after sightseeing in the city centre. Lots of big, fat crows, instead of the usual pigeons... and monuments remembering the fight against Ceausescu's regime. https://worldlings.wordpress.com/2016/04/27/transylvania-cluj-napoca/
