The Village Museum in Soporu de Câmpie, Frata commune, also known as the “Village Courtyard”, is a private cultural objective opened in July 2021. It was founded at the initiative of the spouses Ștefana and Ghiță Deac, with the aim of preserving traditional values, old objects of the local community and elements specific to rural life in the Transylvanian Plain.
The Diocesan Palace of the Metropolitanate of Cluj, Maramureș and Sălaj was built in 1887 as the headquarters for the State Forestry Administration during the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Between 1918-1933 it was the headquarters of the Forestry Directorate, and after 1933 the building was transferred by the Romanian state to the patrimony of the Orthodox Episcopacy of Vad, Feleac and Cluj, since the Episcopal Cathedral had been built nearby.
The building is located on the eastern side of Avram Iancu Square and is made in neoclassical style with two massive towers that stand out in the architectural structure of the area, the main entrance being flanked by four doric columns that support the balcony above.
The La Poduri wetland, located at 1600 m altitude is included in the Gilău-Muntele Mare Mountains group and is located, administratively, in the Valea Ierii commune. It covers an area of approx. 20 ha, being an oligotrophic peatland, formed by the accumulation of peat in conditions of high humidity and acid soil.
Rare plant species grow here, such as the sky dew, a carnivorous plant adapted to nutrient-poor soils. The area is important for biodiversity and offers a spectacular landscape, with vegetation specific to high-altitude swamps.
A thematic trail has been set up in the La Poduri wetland area, destined for tourists and created to stimulate the practice of sustainable tourism.
Sequoia trees stand out both for their size and appearance, as well as for their impressive lifespan (up to 5,000 years). At maturity, these giant trees can reach a height of 145 meters, with a trunk circumference of 38 meters.
The famous Sequoia tree of Rogojel is located just 80 kilometers from the city of Cluj-Napoca, between the villages of Săcuieu and Rogojel at the foot of the Vlădeasa massif. It was planted by Baron Gal Silvestru, who was a great enthusiast of dendrology. Today the tree is approximately 40 meters high, dominating Dealul Domnului where it has been located for more than a century.
The Cluj-Napoca Railway Station Palace is one of the most representative buildings of the city, marking its transformation into a modern urban space. The foundation stone of the building was laid on January 7, 1869, and the station was inaugurated in the fall of 1870, when the first train on the Oradea-Cluj route arrived at the station.
In 1902, a new building of the railway station was built, in eclectic style, dominated by a hall that is still the transit space between the station platform and the city. The fundamental artistic element of the Railway Station Palace is the large glazed portal, rounded at the top, corresponding to the hall space, a specific element of the great European Railway Stations.

Il Palazzo Babos è uno degli edifici più rappresentativi di Cluj della fine del XIX secolo. Il palazzo fu costruito a forma di lettera V e appartiene, insieme ai palazzi Elian, Berde e Szeki, al complesso architettonico che incornicia il ponte Horea. È stato progettato dall’architetto di Cluj Pákey Lajos e porta il nome del primo proprietario: Babos Sandor. Si tratta di un edificio monumentale che combina elementi di architettura eclettica appartenenti allo stile neogotico e art nouveau. Il palazzo aveva la funzione di edificio commerciale, con diverse botteghe operanti al piano terra. Al piano superiore, fino al 1944, si trovava la Gilda delle Belle Arti, sotto il patronato della Chiesa Riformata.

Iancului Cross is a monument commemorating the sacrifice of the Mărișel locals and the troops led by Avram Iancu’s tribuns in the battles of March 12 and July 6, 1849. In 1924, brothers Gavril, Ioan and Vasile Crișan built a first monument, a wooden cross , on the 100th anniversary of the Avram Iancu’s birth (1824-1872); this cross was replaced by a stone one which, during the hortyste administration, was removed and hidden in the village. After the restoration of the Romanian administration in 1944, the locals, together with the Someș battalion reservists from Beliș, built a new crucifix on the place where those two monuments were. It has become the place where, every year, the moți people from the Mărișel area are celebrating their heroes.
The Bobâlna Uprising (1437-1438) was the most important revolt movement in the Hungary Kingdom before the peasant war led by Gheorghe Doja. On the hill near the village, which was the highest area of the region, the rebels set up camp. The uprising spread throughout Transylvania, with the city of Cluj joining this movement. In the first months of 1439 the revolt was defeated, its leaders being executed in Turda. In memory of those who sacrificed themselves to defend the rights of the inhabitants of this area, a monument was built on the hill where the rebel camp was.
