When in Alba Iulia, don’t miss a visit to the Union Hall, the place where in 1918 the union of Transylvania with Romania was declared, and take a walk through the medieval citadel Alba Carolina. For those who are curious and desire to better understand this period of Romanian history, scientific conferences and exhibitions are presented and guided tours of the old Roman citadels are organized. During four days, the battles between the Dacians and the Romans, gladiator fights, workshops, games and slave markets are brought to the public’s eyes. Over 300 re-enactors render the old glory of the city: Roman soldiers and civilians, Dacian fighters, gladiators, craftsmen and dancers take you back to long gone times. The actual city was built on the ruins of Apulum, a Roman citadel, and today is considered the national capital of Romania. It is a story about the Romans and the Dacians, the Romanian’s ancestors and about what used to be the economic, political and cultural centre of the Roman province Dacia. The Roman Festival Apulum is an incursion into ancient times when the Roman Empire was flourishing and the conquest of new territories was at its peak. All the festival is conceived like a ritual, following a historic scenario where centuries-old traditions are reinstalled. Together they restore the medieval atmosphere through paladins and guardsman camps, a medieval fair, interactive shows, medieval dance demonstrations and concerts. The Festival reunites street animation groups and professional musicians, both national and international. Proud of their history and willing to promote their heritage, the people from Bistrita founded the Cultural Association ‘Medieval Bistrita’ which organizes, every year since 2007, the Medieval Bistrita Celebration. At that time, Transylvania was ruled by the Hungarian crown and a land where the Saxons built strong citadels, preventing the Tatars to conquest the eastern part of Europe. The Saxons came to Transylvania during the 12th-15th centuries, summoned by the Hungarian Kings to protect the southern border of their kingdom. Bistrita is one of the seven Saxon citadels that flourished during medieval times, thanks to the so-called ‘hospites’ of Transylvania.
