Cluj at night

So the students are definitely back. Traffic is worse, lots of people in the streets and more noise in my street at night! On the way back from work, I took a couple of pictures on Unirii square. Regularly at 8PM there is music on the square and a water fountain show.
By the way, the statue of the wolf feeding Romulus and Remus I mentioned earlier (Capitoline Wolf Statue) is a gift from the Italian government to the city of Cluj to symbolise the unity of Romanians from all parts of the country and their Latinity (I knew that). Napoca is the italian name of the city when Roman Empire was ruling most of Europe and Africa (sauf un village peuplé d'irréductibles Gaulois qui résiste encore et toujours à l'envahisseur).
Ciao!


The national theater.
The orthodox cathedral.
