HISTORIC HEART

It's organized around piața Republicii, the long central square lined with colorful Austro-Hungarian houses. Most of the interesting buildings are located around it, including the Municipal Theater, one of the city's most beautiful monuments, built between 1901 and 1904. Located at the northern end of the square (no. 52), it also houses the municipal library. At the far end (strada 1 Decembrie 1918, no. 28), the neo-Renaissance Town Hall dates from 1884-1886. From piața Republicii, a porch leads to the dynamic market.
