c)       About Cluj-Napoca: Population: 350.000 inhabitants, Distance from the capital (Bucharest) : 420 Km.

Ancient culture and civilization centre, Cluj-Napoca (Kolozsvár in Hungarian, Klausenburg in German, Claudiopolis in Latin) is the main city of Transylvania. It is the second university, cultural and financial center of Romania. The city has two names: Napoca (the name of the ancient Roman settlement) and Cluj (the Latin name meaning ”closed town” surrounded by hills).

After the Romans had conquered Dacia, the town benefited from major developments. Its Roman name was Napoca, and it was an important economic and commercial center. The city reflects the history of the region: autonomous principate under Turkish suveranity (XVI–XVII centuries), part of the Habsburg Empire as an autonomous principate (end of XVII^th century– middle of XIX^th century), part of Austrian–Hungarian Empire (1867–1918), from 1918 united with Romania.
