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!
