Unirii Square - Cluj-Napoca, Romania

Piața Unirii is the main square of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, with a towering Gothic church, colorful old buildings and a statue on horseback at its center. It has been the heart of the city since the Middle Ages.

Around it stand old palaces built by Hungarian noble families, including the Bánffy Palace, now the city's art museum, and in Hungarian the city is still called Kolozsvár.

Cluj-Napoca is the biggest city in Transylvania and a lively university town, so the square is rarely empty, with festivals, concerts and markets through the year and café tables spilling across it in summer. It's especially pretty at night, and when the Christmas market arrives.

Did You Know? Matthias Corvinus, one of the most famous kings of Hungary, was born in Cluj in 1443. His statue stands in this square.
