    The bastion of the tailors is a part of the medieval fortress that was builds in Cluj in the fifteenth century.
    The bastion was rebuilt later, in the year 1627 until 1629, and was furnished into the existing form.
    It is the only segment of the fortress that remained integral.
    The name of the construction comes from the tailors, which defended the city into this period.
    It is a beautiful and interesting locate to stroll and to look at the history.

    This famous university from Cluj-Napoca, named according to the Romanian biologist Victor Babes and the Hungarian mathematician János Bolyai, is, with its 45000 students, the biggest and the most complex university from Romania.
    Already in the year 1872, the first university was established in Cluj.

    The institution has 22 faculties.
    My middle daughter is registered this year 2007, for a semester, as understudy student, into this famous university, to the foreign languages faculty.
    She has the possibility and the luck to live into this beautiful city for a few months.

    The Roman-Catholic Saint Michael's Church (Biserica Sfantul Mihail) dominates the old town of Cluj-Napoca. The Gothic church was built in the 14th and15th century, whereas the 80 m tall tower was added much later in the 19th century.

    In front of the church the equestrian statue of Matthias Corvinus can be found. The former king of Hungary was born in Cluj-Napoca in 1443. Unfortunately during our visit the statue was scaffolded.

    Directions:
    The Saint Michael's Church stands right in the middle of the large Piata Unirii (Union Square) in the centre of the old town of Cluj-Napoca.
