History

Middle Ages

Mănăștur is home to the Calvaria Church, a Benedictine abbey built in the 9th-10th centuries.

20th century

After the German-Italian arbitrated 1940 Second Vienna Award, Kolozsmonostor (Mănăștur) was situated 1 km from the border with Romania, at Erdőfelek/Feleacu.

The district was changed during Nicolae Ceaușescu's systematisation urban reconstruction program, when many blocks of flats were built, which housed a mainly working class population.[1]
