25 Oct 1944 the battle of Carei - minor skirmish in WWII , but of major importance for Romania this was the day where the last major city was freed from the armies of the III-rd Reich. And ever since the day of 25 in the moth of October is commemorated as the Day of the Romanian Army. The monument is definitely majestic - 18 m (width/span) by 12 m (height) - creation of the artist Vida Geza ( sculptor born in Baia Mare - with Hungarian ancestry, member of the Romanian Communist party and creator of several thematic sculptures and monuments.), when analyzed with due diligence you shall discover several symbols - will not detail those here- but for sure what is worth mentioning is the undoubted influence of the artists roots in Maramures ... (for those of you who've been in Maramures it is obvious for those of you who don't - well it is a point to put on your bucket list !! - "Go visit Maramures!"). Overall a worthy monument (even that is raised in the communist era or Romania, a time of persecution and rewriting of history, elimination of thinkers and intellectual elites. ) erected in the memory of fallen soldiers. If you are in Carei - stop for a few min ... pay your respects - maybe take some pics , it is worth it!!

Aside spending some time strolling around the resort town Baile Herculane, (the first documented resort in Romania, that was at the peak of its development during the 19th century), you can also enjoy some interesting locations such as the derelict Neptune Baths, a monument of the 19th century architecture, the Hercules statue, the Old Train Station built in 1886, the Casino, and a Museum displaying ancient Roman artifacts inside the Roman Hotel. Don't miss the beautiful sight of a sequoia tree by the Old Train Station. The city itself is quaint and utterly romantic, with lots of beer gardens, gazebos, and bistros, great for honeymooners. Its sulfur spas are great for people who suffer of dermatitis and other immune skin conditions. For the fit traveler in search of adventures, a great gateway to Domogled National Park (park entrance is located 10 minutes drive from downtown) or Nera Valley National Park .

Communism destroyed a lot of the city's monuments, the beautiful edifices of this square were left for decay. Lucky Timisoara will be European Cultural capital 2021 and is making efforts to show itself from its best side. Visiting in the later half of 2020 will have you encounter more construction sites and buildings under renovation than you probably fancy. Just a warning. The square features a mix of architectural styles, the Hapsburg era being the most prevalent. Even if not in need of medication pay a visit to the only pharmacy in the square, it still has all original apothecary interior. The Serbian episcopacy and St. George's cathedral are testimony of the peaceful melting pot that this part of Romania has always been. Don't miss. The bars and restaurants will provide a lovely break and chance to people watch.
