Citadel of Alba Iulia

*** Alba Iulia - Alba Carolina Citadel *** A town coated by the legendary halo of the great historical events that took place within its ancient walls, Alba Iulia has deeply got into the Romanian people's mind and soul. No other Transylvanian town has gathered so many crucial meanings and symbols. With thousands and thousands of years of human existence lying behind it, Alba Iulia represents the charming mirror in which all the ethnic groups of Transylvania can discover their vigor or their traditions of yore. The heart of Alba Iulia is Alba Carolina Citadel. Alba Carolina, the most representative bastion fortress in Romania and Southeast Europe, built upon the initiative of Emperor Charles the VIth of Habsburg, under the supervision of the French-born Austrian field marshal Eugene of Savoy, is wearing its royal robe. A royal citadel, residence of the bishopric, capital of autonomous principality, and a military garrison, Alba Iulia has been during all historical periods the main political, administrative, religious, cultural, and military centre of Transylvania. We invite you to visit The Other Capital of Romania.

Over 70,000 square meters of History. The place where we see all the fortifications made in this place for over 2000 years. On the site of an old Romanian fortress was built a medieval fortress and a church at the same time as Notre Dame in Paris. But it suffered much more and was burned twice, one of its towers being destroyed. However, the new Fortress was built during the Habsburg Empire, and in 1918 was the place where the first King of united Romania was crowned. In Alba Iulia, the Orthodox Cathedral is the only one in the country that has hosted any coronation of the Kings of Greater Romania!

Libearty Bear Sanctuary Zarnesti

Libearty Bear Sanctuary is the biggest brown bear sanctuary from Europeand has the largest surface in the world. Here, 75 bears found a nice home in this 5 stars welfare facility. Here you can see happy bears in their natural environment, after a bad life in circuses and zoo cages. The tours are guided by trained animal welfare experts and the visitors can see brown bears really close.

Reviewed By D2271HHlouisef - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

This was the highlight of my visit to Romania. It was absolutely amazing to see brown bears so close up. We watched a video at the start which was heart breaking, as it showed the treatment of the bears before they arrived at Libearty. After the video, it was even more special to see the bears outside playing. They now have loads of space to roam. There are also deer, donkeys and wolves at Liberty, though the bears are the main attraction. This isn’t a zoo so there are some rules in place for the comfort of the bears. For example, you must stay with the group at all times and be quiet. The staff were apologetic when enforcing these rules and were extremely polite. There’s a gift shop where you can adopt a bear and buy souvenirs. For such a small shop, they had a good selection to choose from (magnets, teddy bears, pens, T-shirts, etc). Note that no children under 5 are allowed. This is clearly stated on the website, but one man was very rude about it on the day when his kids were refused. This rule is for the children’s own safety and to be honest, I imagine it to be pretty distressing for them to watch the video about the treatment of the bears. I’m so glad Libearty exists and thank everyone involved for their work with the bears ????????
