from December 16 on the "10×10" Installation, on the Boulevard of Heroes.
Because our roads through Cluj were beaten by others before us. And, in order to understand the "surface layer", it is necessary to go down in depth. that's what archeology does.
This gallery presents the results of the archaeological research carried out in Cluj-Napoca by the specialists of the National History Museum of Transylvania, in the last decade and a half.
The multi-millenary history of the settlement on this site is illustrated since prehistoric times, since then a unique Neolithic tomb has been noted.
It passes through the Roman period of the city of Napoca, from which we have preserved an impressive number of private or public buildings, as well as the network of roads and fragments of the western and southern precincts, sometimes overlapped by the medieval one.
The Middle Ages are visible in several places, among which stands out the church of St. Michael with its oldest phases and the adjacent cemetery, and the Modern Age is visible through a series of structures that brought the city closer to the form in which it exists in these times.
The archaeological heritage of Cluj is very rich and varied and is a public asset of the entire community. It is our duty to research it, protect it and make the best use of it, because it is part of our heritage.
Pleasant trip through the "tunnel" that will bring you the inside of local history!
