Favorite thing: the people, easy to get around. This really is a nice place to use as a base camp during your travels to Transylvania.

Fondest memory: Just watching the people enjoy life no matter how hard it is. It really puts things in line for you by visiting.

sinagoga ortodoxa

Favorite thing: Aceasta sinagoga, construita la 1890, seamana in mare masura cu cele de la Dej si Satu-Mare. Ea incorporeaza in decoratii si arhitectura elemente maure.
Este singura sinagoga functionala din Oradea. Oricum, accesul este permis gentililor doar cu aprobare, cel putin asa stau lucrurile dupa spusele gardianului vigilent de la poarta, multumita caruia nu au loc in Oradea atentate teroriste.

mult a avut de suferit Oradea de-a lungul istoriei

Favorite thing: Biserica romano-catolica "Maica Indurerata" a fost construita intre anii 1741-1766 conform planurilor calugarului paulin Vépi Maté. Socant, biserica a fost folosita ca depozit dupa desfiintarea ordinului in anul 1786, dar in anul 1808 ea a trecut in administrarea Ordinului premonstratens

biserica greco-catolica

Favorite thing: Autorii planurilor de constructie ale catedralei greco-catolice sint necunoscuti. Inca se mai fac cercetarii pentru a se descoperii faptasii. (risete) Catedrala a fost construita in stil baroc clasicizant. Episcopul Samuil Vulcan a fost cel care a finalizat constructia in anul 1810. Colac peste pupaza, in 19-21 iunie 1836, biserica este afectata si ea de incendiul care a pustiit Oradea. Ca si cum nu ar fi avut de ajuns de suferit, in timpul lucrarilor de reparatie efectuate in anul 1907, (anul rascoalei taranesti) ia foc clopotnita, arzind cu aceasta ocazie tot scheletul de lemn al turlei. Arhitectul Rimanoczy Kalman este cel caruia ii este incredintata restaurarea turlei.
Demne de vazut sint cele 41 de icoane ale iconostasului dispuse in 6 registre.

biserica cu luna

Favorite thing: Biserica ortodoxa "Adormirea Maicii Domnului" este popular cunoscuta sub numele de Biserica cu Luna. Intre asezarea pietrei de temelie in 1784 (anul rascoalei lui Horea) si finalizarea constructiei au trebuit sa se scurga 6 ani. Arhiectul cladirii, Iacob Eder i-a prezentat planurile constructorului Ioann Lins, care cu fonduri strinse de la greci, romani si sirbi s-a pus pe treaba. La 1790, biserica era singura cu turn din Orasul Nou. Biserica este caracteristica, dupa spusele lui Peter I. Zoltan, planimetriei bizantine. Mecanismul din turn a fost realizat de oradeanul Georg Rueppe. Constructia imbina stilurile bizantin, baroc tirziu si neoclasicist.

sirul canonicilor

Favorite thing: Cea mai veche din sirul de zece case a fost ridicatã de canonicul Joannes Alapy, 1753-1758. Ultima clãdire a fost înãltatã pînã în anul 1863. Stilul clãdirilor seamãnã cu arhitectura clasicistã popularã din Transilvania.

sinagoga neologa

Favorite thing: In 1870, the Jewish community in Oradea split up into the orthodox and the congregational (neologian) communities. The latter decided to build its own synagogue. The first brick in the construction was laid in 1877. The construction was finished on 24 September, 1878. The city hall's main engineer Busch David designed the construction plans of the synagogue. The entreprenneur in charge of carrying out the construction was Rimánóczy Kálmán, Sr. The inner paintings in moorish style come from the brush of Horovitz Mór from Kosice.

Casa F��chsl

Favorite thing: The plans of the house were designed by two architects from Budapest, Bálint Zoltán and Jámbor Lajos. Back in those days, the year 1902 to be more precise, it was rumored the building would be the first to incorporate the Art Nouveau style. The building was finished in 1903. The owners of the building were vintagers, hence the the grapes in the basrelief ornaments.

poarta orasului este mereu deschisa vizitatorilor

Favorite thing: ein paar begeisterte und gleichzeitig wichtige Leute hatten Oradea unheimlich gern. Heutzutage solche Leute gibt es immer noch.

Fondest memory: cind ma gindesc la Oradea, imi vin in minte locurile si coclaurile prin care m-am perindat odinioara. cu drag si cuprins de nostalgie revin la Oradea . Desi orasul se schimba la fata, in inima mea el ramina neschimbat.

Poynar house and the Mihia Eminsecu bookshop

Favorite thing: At the moment there is still no tourist information agency in Oradea. And getting hold of what there is to see and do is rather difficult. People start direction you straight out of Oradea. The couple of times i asked the first thing people came up with was visiting Baile Felix, a rather famous Spa. Which made me wonder since Oradea has quite a lot to offer as well.

In the bookshop ' Mihai Eminescu' in Poynar House (Piata Regele Ferdinand, opposite Calea Republicii) you can buy a leaflet with information on several of the important buildings in Oradea and a small but indispensible streetmap. All in english so highly usefull

Fondest memory: Updated 2005: The bookstore no longer exists here. But there are other bookstores that have the same or similar information. So check them out. There is a big one in Republicii and a smaller bookstore in the Crisul stores. There are more but these are easy to find.
