HUNEDOARA - ROMANIA
Hunedoara is a
city in Hunedoara county, Transylvania, Romania.
During the Middle Ages, the Corvins, a powerful Romanian feudal family
from Transylvania part of which was King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary,
founded there the most important Gothic style secular building in
Romania.
There are rich hungarian, german and rommanes minorities also. The city
is full with green gardens and old trees flanc the streets. The Huniazi
Castle is under reconstruction, and there are hopes that it wil become
really a great thing to visit. There is also a big dam a few km up in the
mountains, with good touristical facilities.
Under the past century, Hunedoara has increased the population to 86.000
people, holding the second largest steel works in Romania. But now that the
CAER soviet market is gone, the city changes the economy and everything else,
and the steel works have closed doors, all but a small factory. Rich
westerners or romanians now invest in Hunedoara, and people's faith in their
city is becoming strong again.
