Panorama of Cluj Napoca

This is my place.

Settlement at Cluj-Napoca reaches as far back as prehistoric times. After the Roman Empire conquered Dacia in the beginning of the 2nd century, Trajan established a legion base at a Dacian settlement known as Napoca. Although it was founded as a military base, Napoca grew rapidly as civilians settled nearby.

Hadrian raised Napoca to the status of a municipium, naming it Municipium Aelium Hadrianum Napoca.

The locality was later raised to the status of a colonia, probably during the reign of Marcus Aurelius.

Napoca became a provincial capital of Provincia Porolissensis and the seat of a procurator.
