We arrive in Alba Iulia. The Transylvanian capital of the year when our national consciousness awakened somewhat to life because of one man who wanted to fulfill:
"haha what he hated him" (not my dear generation Pro, it's not Becali but another infinitely bigger and bigger man than that.) Do not you know who? "Rusinica, shameful, but ask me Google), we encounter an agitator of an anthropologist in a modern city. We go to the Vauban-style old fortress built in 1715-1718 by the architect Giovanni Morando Visconti, under the command of General Stefan de Steinville, commander of the imperial troops in the principality.
The fortress is made up of 7 bastions and the entrance is made of 6 gates, of which 4 are decorated with sculptures and reliefs by a team led by Johan Konig. Do you know what Alba Iulia means? Well, when the Romans occupied the area and camped here legion XIII Gemina, they built a white stone cast. Later, the Romans influenced language by the Slavs, called the Balgrad city of the Slavic Bielgorod, meaning "the white city". Later, after the occupation of Transylvania by the Hungarian Kingdom, the Hungarians named Gyulafehervar as "the city of Iuliu or Julia", and after 1775 the Austrians told him Alba Carolina from their emperor Carol VI. Finally, the Romans compiled and Alba Iulia told him. We park in front of the fortress walls and enter into the Reunification Cathedral, where in 1922 the kings of Great Romania, Ferdinand I and his wife Maria, under whose leadership came the secular dream of romania, were crowned.
At the entrance to the church on the right side of the doors there is an inscription that speaks of Mihai Viteazul's union, and on the inside after passing the door, on the right, there is a mosaic representing the Romanian voivode and on the left one representing it his wife Mrs. Stanca. Inside, we have the chandelier in the shape of the Crown of Romania, and on the left and right of the doors we find the portraits of King Ferdinand and Queen Maria painted as founders of the holy place. As a rule, in the churches up to the 19th century on the right side of the wall separating the nave from the rest of the church is found the painting of the founder, the so-called votive painting. On the walls to the left and right of the iconostasis you will find so-called holy military (Mercurie, Dimitrie, Sf Gheorghe) named as the gate of the sword. On the inside of the church tower is Jesus Christ Pantocrator the master of the world, and around the tower in the order of importance and their closeness to Christ, there are painted cherubs, seraphim and saints. Usually on the corners of the tower you will find the four evangelists painted each with books, the gospels written by them. The symbol is simple: as the Gospels support the Church, so the masonry areas on which they are painted support the tower not to crumble.
We leave the cathedral and head to the place where he is buried (please, what is left of him) Ioan Corvin of Hunedoara Governor of Transylvania and then Vice-King of Hungary, Roman married to a Hungarian and seemingly illegitimate son Sigismund of Luxembourg with a Romance. Of course I'm talking about the Roman Catholic Cathedral in Alba Iulia.
