Satu Mare Things to Do

As the old town of Satu Mare is not located in a citadel, there is no certain difinition to the old town. However, it can be divided according to streets and sights, with the central Liberty Square, that presents most of the towns famous architectual points.
Some of the towns most importent architectual monuments are:
-The Dacia Hotel (located at the Liberty Square).
-The Roman Catholic Cathedral (located at the Liberty Sqaure).
-The Synagogue (located at Decebakl street).
-The old water tower (located at a small garden at the back of the Liberty Square).
-Ormos House (located at the crossroads of Bratianu blvd. and Horea street).
-The Nord Theatre (located at Horea street).
-The Reformed church and the county court (located at Mihai Viteazul street).
-The white house (located at the Liberty Square).

There are several recration sites around the town center of Satu Mare. The most central (and probably the most beautifu) one is located in the center of the Liberty (Libertatii) square. Its ulrtracentral location, in the middle of the old town makes it a very active place all day long. There are many trees, flowers, statues, fountains and flower sellers. At the other hand, there are many drunk people and Gypsy beggars hanging around the park, but they wil do no harm.
At the meeting of Bratianu and Traian boulevards there are another few parks located at the middle of the wide Vasile Lucaciu boulevard. Other attractions in that crosspoint are the county museum and the Transilvania complex.
At the continuance of Traian blvd, one of the cities largest parks is located. The park is called "Gradina Romei". Often you will see kids riding a bike or skating on rollerblades at the park, where the silence and the pleasent weather makes it look like an oasis in the middle of the big city.

The city hall of Satu Mare was built under the communist regime (as a part of the "new town center" project) and its probably the highets building in the whole county.
It contains the offices of the city and county authorities... the cities archive, where you can get your birth certificate for example.
On the top city halls tower, you can notice an electronic sign that shows the local tim and the temp... I hope its adjusted at the right way... :)

The beautiful neo-clasical style building is one of the most famous monuments of Satu Mare. It was built between 1785-1798 and extended during the history.
At the entrance there are six columns with Corinthian column heads. Above the gable there are 3 statues that represents Peter and Pavel apostles, which relieves Jesus.
