Alba Iulia wasn't the first place on my list to visit. But then i heard it has a citadel and that it was one of the most important cities in Transsylvania. So i had to go there. Unfortunately the old town has been flattened by Ceaucescu and the city isn't very appealing. Luckily he left the citadel and its buildings inside alone.

It was in Alba Iulia that in 1918 the treaty was signed that joined Transsylvania and Romania. So for the Romania we know today, Alba Iulia is of great significance
