Travel planner: Re-discovering Alba Iulia, the Romanian city where history comes to life

Corina Chirileasa took a trip to Alba Iulia, in the center of Romania, to discover the famous Alba Carolina citadel and to delve into the history and beauty of this tourist destination, a newly re-discovered gem. I had visited Alba Iulia once, several years ago, when I only saw the Orthodox Cathedral and when I had no idea what a beautiful fortress the city has – back then, revamping work was ongoing – so in my head I dismissed it. But I re-visited properly recently, and I was in awe to discover a place of which I had no idea how beautiful and full of history it was.
