Cetatea Alba Iulia Program Vizitare 2018

Sep 15, 2014  Sa zicem ca sunteti in tranzit prin orasul Alba Iulia, un oras despre care nu stiti prea multe si nici nu v-ati aratat interesat de ce se poate face in el. Nu va putem lasa sa plecati de aici la fel cum ati venit, asa ca pana la vizita urmatoare ne permitem sa va dam o idee. Cetatea Alba Carolina si Muzee in Alba Iulia. Cetatea Alba Carolina este o fortareata in stil Vauban cu 7 bastioane, construita intre anii 1716-1738, prin munca silnica a 20.000 de iobagi, fiind una dintre cele mai impresionante constructii de acest gen din Europa. Portile I, II, III (cea mai impozanta dintre ele), IV si V au fost recent reconditionate si sunt deschise spre vizitare.

The Alba Carolina Citadel (Romanian: Cetatea Alba Carolina, Hungarian: Gyulafehérvári vár) is a star-shaped fortress located in Alba Iulia.^{[4][5][6][7][8]} Its construction commenced on November 4, 1715 during the Habsburg rule in Transylvania, and was completed in 1738. 20,000 serfs were involved in its construction, which is estimated to have cost around 3 million guldens. The citadel was built on the site of two other fortifications: the legionary fortress of Legio XIII Gemina (known as Apulum), as well as the medieval Balgrad citadel.^[9]

The shape of the citadel, an iconic element of Vauban architecture, influenced the design of Alba Iulia's city logo when the city adopted city branding in 2014.^[8] The city received 47.5 million lei in 2009 for the restoration and conservation of the citadel.^[10]

The citadel is named after Charles VI, known as Carol VI in Romanian, who was the Holy Roman Emperor at the time of the citadel's construction.
