Romani din Alba Iulia :-))

The modern city is located near the site of the important Dacian political, economic and social centre named Apulon (believed by many archaeologists to be the Dacian fortifications on top of Piatra Craivii), mentioned by the ancient Greek geographer Ptolemy. After the southern part of Dacia became a province of the Roman Empire, the capital of the Dacia Apulensis district was established here, and the city was known as Apulum. [1] Apulum was one of the largest centers in Roman Dacia and the seat of the XIII Gemina Legion.
In the 9th century, the city was mentioned under the name of Belgrad / Belograd ("White Castle" in Slavic languages), the Hungarian Gestas mention a ruler named Geula/Gyula/Jula that had discovered the city and made it the capital of his dukedom during 10th century. Following the establishment of the Catholic Transylvanian episcopacy after Stephen I of Hungary adopted Catholicism, the first cathedral was built in the 11th century. The present (Catholic) cathedral was built in the 12th or 13th centuries. In 1442, John Hunyadi, Voivod of Transylvania, used the citadel to make his preparations for a major battle against the Ottoman Turks. The cathedral was enlarged during his reign and served as his place of entombment after his death.
As Gyulafehérvár, Alba Iulia became the capital of the Principality of Transylvania in 1541, a status it was to retain until 1690. The Treaty of Weissenburg was signed in the town in 1551. It was during the reign of Prince Gabriel Bethlen that the city reached a high point in its cultural history, with the establishment of an academy. Further important milestones in the city's development include the creation of the Batthyanaeum Library in the 18th century, and the arrival of the railway in the 19th century.
Alba Iulia (en allemand Karlsburg ou Weissenburg, en hongrois Gyulafehérvár) est une ville moyenne de Transylvanie (66 369 habitants en 2002), en plein centre de la Roumanie.
C'est le chef-lieu du judeţ de Alba.
Située non loin des Carpates, cette ville touristique est sans doute l'une des plus anciennes de Roumanie : vestiges datant du néolithique, ville importante sous et avant l'occupation romaine sous le nom de Apulum, un des premiers archevêchés fondé par Étienne Ier, roi de Hongrie au début du xie siècle, sous le nom de Gyulafehérvár, puis ville de princes saxons au Moyen Âge (sous le nom de Karlsburg).
La ville d'Alba Iulia a une grande importance symbolique pour les Roumains, car c'est là que fut scellée la « Grande Unification » de la Roumanie le 1er décembre 1918. C'est donc ici que l'on célèbre chaque année la fête nationale. Le reseau d'Alba Iulia est compose de Renault R312 et de Heuliez Gx107 vendus par la Stac et la Semurval. Des Saviem Sc10u circulent egalement sur le reseau d'Alba Iulia.
