The site encompasses the ruins of the Roman castrum Apulum and the 13th-century St. Michael’s Cathedral, the oldest in Romania. It also houses the Reunification Cathedral, the site of the 1922 royal coronation, and the National Museum of the Union, which documents the 1918 unification of Transylvania with Romania.
