Get around

See
  • 🌍 Alba Carolina Fortress (Cetatea Alba Carolina). A massive baroque fortification built in the 18th century, one of the largest of this kind in Eastern Europe. The citadel is filled with historical sights, including medieval catholic cathedral, national unification museum and (rather unimpressive) remains of the Roman castrum. 
  • 🌍 Reunification Cathedral (Catedrala Reîntregirii). 
  • 🌍 St. Michael's Cathedral (Catedrala Sfântul Mihail). 
  • 🌍 Museum of the Union (Muzeul Unirii). The museum exhibits over 130,000 pieces of artworks, organized chronologically. The Unification Hall retains historical significance from having hosted, on 1 December 1918, the rally of the 1228 Romanian delegations from Transylvania who determined the province's union with the Kingdom of Romania.

gollark: In Orion's Arm the human-derived civilization "only" has a few... was it million planets? but ridiculously gigantic populations because many of them live in computer simulations.
gollark: Also that one... anime or something... I vaguely remember reading about on TVTropes where you had giant mechs the size of galaxies battling.
gollark: Orion's Arm might be bigger.
