"cetatuia" (Citadel) Park Cluj-Napoca

“Cetatuia” is the place with the most beautiful panoramic view from Cluj-Napoca, an important tourist place for the beautiful landscape. At a height of 405 m, it has the look of a plateau on which the Habsburgs have built the first Vauban type fortification in the 18th century. The fortification was also used as a prison in particular in the time of the Revolution from 1848, this also being the place where the famous pastor Stephan Ludwig Roth, who was one of the heroes of the Revolution, was imprisoned and executed.

As part of the walls, some buildings and two gates have been kept until the present out of the fortification.

A monument in the shape of a cross, in the honour of “The heroes of the People” - the martyrs of the Revolution from 1848, was erected on the hill in 1997. As for facilities, “Cetatuia” Park offers a sport pitch and fitness equipment with free access. A 3-star hotel also functions here.
