CLUJ UNDERGROUNDS
To celebrate the European Days of Archeology on June 14, 15 and 16, 2024, the National History Museum of Transylvania invites you to CLUJ UNDERGROUNDS – a virtual exhibition from the Archeology at Home series.
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 is illustrated starting from prehistory, highlighted by the discovery of a unique Neolithic tomb. The Roman period of the city of Napoca is represented by an impressive number of private and public buildings, road networks and fragments of the western and southern precincts, some superimposed by medieval structures.
The Middle Ages are well documented through the various finds and are visible in several locations, among which the church of Saint Michael with its early phases and the adjacent cemetery stand out.
The modern era is reflected by a number of structures that have contributed to the development of the city in its current form.
Cluj's archaeological heritage is extremely rich and varied, constituting a public asset of the entire community. It is our responsibility to research, protect and capitalize on this heritage, as it is an essential part of our cultural heritage.
