Clujul,
oraul diversitii arhitecturale i culturale
Istoria Clujului relev o diversitate aproape unic n Europa rsritean privind
numeroasele civilizaii care au subscris la condica milenar a oraului. Diversitatea
etnic i cultural, manifestat n ultimele secole, s-a rsfrnt i asupra arhitecturii sale.
Aleile pietonale fancate de cldiri din alte vremi i ofer senzaia de dj vu. Nostalgia
trecutului i gsete adpost n sufetele celor ce parcurg la pas istoria cetii Clujului.
Amprente ale existenei umane exist nc din preistorie. Localitatea i face ns
intrarea n istorie odat cu menionarea aezrii Napoca, construit dup cucerirea din
105-106, conform riguroaselor norme arhitecturale romane, ntrunind condiiile unei
societi de factur occidental, afat ntr-o zon strategic important, pe drumul ce
lega castrul de la Potaissa de Porolissum. Urme vizitabile ale existenei romane gsim
astzi n situl arheologic din Piaa Unirii. n acelai scuar avem unul dintre cele mai
frumoase edifcii gotice din Transilvania, Biserica Sf. Mihail, ridicat ncepnd cu secolul
XIV, ca prima versiune integral a bisericii hal gotic cu trei nave din Transilvania.
Ataat bisericii, n secolul XIX s-a construit turnul neogotic, ce ofer o perspectiv de
ansamblu asupra centrului istoric.
Carol Robert de Anjou a oferit Clujului n 1316 o serie de privilegii i rangul de ora
regal, iar Sigismund de Luxemburg, titlul de ora liber, ducnd la ridicarea celei de a
doua incinte medievale a sa, fortifcat cu peste 20 de turnuri i bastioane de aprare.
O poriune din zidul medieval este excelent conservat pe strada Potaissa. Mai la est,
Turnul Croitorilor, cel mai bine pstrat turn al Clujului, adpostete n prezent Centrul
de Cultur Urban. Se mai pstreaz i Turnul Pompierilor construit n secolul XVI
pe actuala strad a Tipografei. Un alt edifciu important din secolul XV este Biserica
Reformat de pe strada M. Koglniceanu, nlat cu sprijinul regelui Matia Corvin.
Biserica este renumit pentru acustica sa, aici avnd loc numeroase concerte de org.
Tema Sf. Gheorghe ucignd balaurul a fost excelent imortalizat n bronz de meterii
Martin i Gheorghe n 1373. Statuia original, comandat de Carol al IV-lea, se af la
Praga, o copie a acesteia, realizat n secolele XIX-XX, find amplasat n faa Bisericii
Reformate.
Piaa Muzeului a fost iniial piaa central a primei incinte medievale a Clujului. Pe
latura sa estic este amplasat Biserica Franciscan (1397). Aceasta a aparinut iniial
dominicanilor, mai apoi unitarienilor, pentru ca n fnal s fe inclus n posesiunile
franciscanilor, care i-au oferit aspectul baroc de astzi. n centrul pieei se af Obeliscul
Carolina, primul monument laic al Clujului, ridicat la nceputul secolului XIX n Piaa
Mare a oraului, cu ocazia vizitei cuplului imperial Francisc I i Carolina Augusta.
Monumentul decorat cu basoreliefuri realizate de austriacul Josef Klieber a fost apoi
mutat n Piaa Muzeului.

Tot n incinta primei ceti a Clujului gsim casa natal a regelui Matia Corvin, iar
vizavi Casa Bocskay, locul de natere a principelui tefan Bocskay. O important cldire
renascentist este Casa Wolphard-Kakas din Piaa Unirii, care cu toate c a suferit unele
transformri notabile, pstreaz i astzi elemente importante, ca Sala Zodiacului sau
cadranul solar.
La fnele secolului XVII Principatul Transilvaniei a intrat sub crmuire austriac,
ceea ce echivaleaz cu introducerea noului curent arhitectural, barocul, ncepnd
astfel ridicarea impuntoarelor monumente laice ale Clujului, precum i a unor noi
biserici sau restaurarea n noul stil a altora mai vechi. Acum este ridicat o fortifcaie
de tip Vauban, denumit informal Cetuia Clujului, dotat cu bastioane, pori, depozit
de armament, cldiri ale comandamentului i garnizoan. Tot acum este construit
Biserica Piarist de pe strada Universitii, find primul monument ecleziastic baroc din
Transilvania, alturi de Colegiului Iezuit i claustrul mnstirii.
Spre fnele secolului este ridicat una dintre cele mai frumoase cldiri laice baroce
din Transilvania: Palatul Bnfy. Finanat de guvernatorul Gyrgy Bnfy i proiectat
de arhitectul Blaumann, acesta este amplasat n Piaa Unirii, gzduind astzi coleciile
Muzeului de Art. Tot acum sunt pietruite strzile centrale i apar primele norme de
urbanism, supravegheate de Direcia Construciilor i Consiliul Orenesc. La sfritul
secolului XVIII, este ridicat n afara cetii, n stil baroc, primul edifciu ecleziastic
ortodox, numit Biserica din Deal. Apoi, tot n stil baroc este zidit Biserica Greco-
Catolic Bob, numit dup episcopul de Blaj, ce a fnanat lucrarea.
Din raiuni de urbanism, n secolul XIX sunt demolate pe rnd turnurile i zidurile
oraului. Tot acum, stilul neoclasic ocup preocuprile arhitecilor, casa Petrichevich-
Horvath find un exemplu n acest sens, n prezent cldirea adpostind coleciile
Muzeului Naional de Istorie a Transilvaniei. n a doua parte a secolului XIX se impune
stilul eclectic. Acum apar principalele cldiri administrative ale oraului, printre care
menionm: gara, Palatul Primriei, Regionala CFR, Palatul de Finane, Universitatea,
Palatul de Justiie sau Cldirea Casino.
Actuala Pia Avram Iancu a fost amenajat extra murros n preajma anului 1900.
Aici, n partea de sud a pieei, este ridicat cldirea Teatrului Naional, iar nspre nord,
Catedrala Ortodox n stil neo-romnesc. Se remarc spre sfritul perioadei interbelice
stilul internaional (Colegiul Academic), pentru ca n perioada dictaturii comuniste
arhitectura s migreze spre un funcionalism depersonalizat.
Clujul e un ora care a reuit s-i pstreze identitatea n hiurile unei false
moderniti. Un ora bine nchegat, i totui afat ntr-o perpetu transformare. Noile
proiecte ambiioase ale autoritilor Cluj Arena, Sala Multifuncional, Filarmonica,
Centrul Regional de Excelen pentru Industrii Creative vin s ntregeasc diversitatea
unui veritabil ora cultural european.

Cluj,
a city of architectural and cultural diversity
The history of Cluj reveals an almost unique diversity in Eastern Europe regarding the
numerous civilizations that have subscribed to its millenary history. An ethnic and cultural
diversity of the last few centuries refected also in its architecture. The pedestrian alleys,
fanked by buildings from another era, give the impression of dj vu. The nostalgia for the
past fnds shelter in the hearts of the people who walk through the history of the city of Cluj.
The signs of human life date since prehistory. But the settlement entered history with
the frst record of Napoca, which was built after the 105-106 conquest, according to the
rigorous Roman architectural rules; the settlement met the conditions for a Western-like
society located in a strategic area, on the road connecting the Roman camp at Potaissa
with Porolissum. Signs of the Roman life can be seen today in the archeological site in
Unirii Square. In the same square one can fnd one of the most beautiful Gothic edifces
in Transylvania, St. Michaels Church, whose construction began in the 14
th
century, and
which was the frst integral version of a three-nave Gothic hall church in Transylvania.
Attached to the church, the neo-Gothic tower was built in the 19
th
century, and ofers a
general view over the historical center.
In 1316 Charles I of Hungary granted Cluj a series of privileges and the status of royal
city, and Sigismund of Luxemburg granted it the title of free city, after which the second
medieval enclosure was built; the enclosure was fortifed with more than 20 towers and
defensive bastions. A part of the medieval wall has been excellently preserved and can be
found on Potaissa Street. To the east, the Tailors Tower, the best preserved tower in Cluj,
currently houses the Urban Culture Center. The Firemens Tower, which was built in the
16
th
century on the current Tipografei Street, has also been preserved. Another important
edifce from the 15
th
century is the Calvinist Church on M. Koglniceanu Street, which was
built with the help of King Matthias Corvinus. The church is famous for its acoustics, and
numerous organ concerts take place here. The theme of St. George killing the dragon was
superbly immortalized in bronze by master craftsmen Martin and Gheorghe in 1373. The
original statue, ordered by Charles IV, is in Prague, and a copy of it, built at the beginning of
the 20
th
century, was placed in front of the Calvinist Church in 1960.
The Muzeului Square was initially the central square of the frst medieval enclosure of Cluj.
The Franciscan Monastery and Church are located on its eastern side (1397). The building
complex initially belonged to the Dominicans, then to the Unitarians, and was fnally included
in assets of the Franciscans, who gave it its current Baroque look. The Carolina Obelisk stands in
the center of the square; it is the frst lay monument of Cluj, and was built at the beginning of the
19
th
century in the citys Large Square, as a memento of the visit of the imperial couple Francisc
I and Carolina Augusta. The monument, decorated with bas-reliefs created by the Austrian
sculptor Josef Klieber, was then moved to Muzeului Square.
8
Within the frst enclosure of Cluj we also fnd the birth house of King Matthias Corvinus,
and across the street from that the Bocskay House, the birth place of Prince tefan
Bocskay. An important Renaissance building is the Wolphard-Kakas House in the Unirii
Square, which, though it has undergone notable transformations, has preserved till today
important elements, such as the Zodiac Room or the sundial.
At the end of the 17
th
century the Principality of Transylvania was under Austrian ruling,
which brought with it a new architectural current, the Baroque; this led to the building
of the impressive secular monuments of Cluj and new churches, or to the transformation
of some older churches according to the new style. A Vauban-type fortifcation was also
built, which is informally known as the Cluj fortress, and had bastions, gates, an armory,
headquarters and a garrison. Another construction of the time was the Piarist Church on
Universitii Street, the frst Baroque ecclesiastical monument in Transylvania, together
with the Jesuit College and the monastery cloister.
Towards the end of the century one of the most beautiful Baroque secular buildings
in Transylvania was built: the Bnfy Palace. Funded by Governor Gyrgy Bnfy and
designed by architect Blaumann, it is located in the Unirii Square, and at present houses
the collections of the Art Museum. The central streets were cobbled and the frst urban
planning rules appeared, under the supervision of the Construction Board and the
City Council. At the end of the 18
th
century, outside the fortress walls, the frst orthodox
ecclesiastical edifce was built in a Baroque style, known as the Church on the Hill. Then,
again in a Baroque style, the Bob Greek Catholic Church was built, which was named
after the bishop of Blaj who funded the work.
For urban planning reasons, in the 19
th
century the city towers and walls were
gradually demolished. At the same time, the Neoclassical style was preferred by architects;
the Petrichevich-Horvath House is such an example; the building currently houses the
collections of the National History Museum of Transylvania. In the second half of the 19
th

century, the eclectic style prevailed. The main administrative buildings of the city were
erected, among which the Railway Station Palace, the City Hall Palace, the CFR Palace, the
Palace of Finance, the University, the Palace of Justice, or the Casino Building.
The current Avram Iancu Square was built extra muros at the beginning of the 20
th

century. Here, in the southern part of the square, the building of the National Theater was
erected, and to the north, the Orthodox Cathedral was erected in a neo-Romanian style.
By the end of the interwar period we notice the International style (the Academic College);
while during the period of the communist dictatorship architecture migrated towards
depersonalized functionalism.
Cluj is a city that has succeeded in maintaining its identity despite the challenges of
false modernity. It is a homogenous city, though undergoing continuous transformation.
The authorities new and ambitious projects Cluj Arena, the Multifunctional Hall, the
Philharmonic, and the Regional Center of Excellence for Creative Industries complete the
diversity of a true European cultural city.

Unirii Square
The Unirii Square is the central point of Cluj, being actually the second central square, after the one
in the old fortress, todays Muzeului Square. The square was born when the frst enclosure became
too small, the frst buildings being erected along its sides, and in its centre, the current St. Michaels
Church.

Mihai Viteazul Square
The square took shape in the second half of the 19
th
century, being placed northeast from the
Unirii Square, between Canalul Morii and the Someul Mic River. When in the 19
th
century the
modernization of Cluj was intended, the citys market was moved here from the Unirii Square. The
appearance of the square changed much in the 20
th
century, when the equestrian statue of Mihai
Viteazul was placed in its center.

Avram Iancu Square and tefan cel Mare Square
The area to the east of the medieval walls remained empty for a long time, due to the interdiction to
build around the defensive area of the fortress. It was only after 1830 that a new city centre took shape
here; it comprised from the beginning two adjacent squares: the north square, around the Orthodox
Cathedral, currently called Avram Iancu Square, and the southern one, around the National Theater,
currently called tefan cel Mare Square.
