Cluj-Napoca
Cluj-Napoca (Kolozsvár, Klausenburg) is located in Transylvania, in the northwest part of Romania and is one of the most important academic, cultural and industrial centers in the country. Students count more than a third of the town's population, where Babeş-Bolyai University is one of the largest in Romania with more than 42.000 students. The city dates back to Roman times, but the earliest conserved buildings are from the medieval era. One example is St. Michael's Church, built in the 14th century which sits in the heart of the city. A large number of historical monuments, museums, galleries, as well as restaurants are located around it and are worth visiting, about 20 min. walk from the workshop venue.
