Deva Fortress - The symbol of the town

 


Rising 1,000 ft. on a rocky hill-top (Dealul Cetatii), Deva fortress - the symbol of the town - had witnessed, since 1269, the town's long history and countless visitors. For centuries the fortress (nicknamed "the Key to Mures River") has guarded the access, from the western regions of Banat and Crisana and from Central Europe, to Transylvania.



The fortress is open daily and admission is free.
The climb to the fortress is a 45-minute walk on a reasonable path.


Those who do not wish to walk to the citadel can use the funicular to reach nearly to the top.
One must still navigate a series of steps to enter the ruins of the fortress and view the memorial to Francis David;


His statement "We need not think alike to love alike" still inspires many today.


From the top of Dealul Cetatii hill visitors can view the route of the "Salt Road" the old Roman route that used to connect Rome, the capital of the Roman Empire, with Transylvania.


Deva is also nicknamed: "Capital of Romania's Gymnastics"

 


Since 1978, the country's best gymnasts - including Olympic, World and European champions Nadia Comaneci, Teodora Ungureanu, Ecaterina Szabo, Lavinia Agache, Daniela Milosevici, Maria Olaru, Catalina Ponor – have trained and got their education at Deva National Gymnastics Center

Deva is a large town in west – central Romania, set on the left bank of Mures River, not far from Romania's main coal and mineral mining area. Numerous artifacts dating from the Bronze Age, found in the area, indicate that Deva region has been inhabited since at least 450 BC.

The name Deva may have been given to the area by the leaders of the Roman Legion Augusta II who – in early 100s AD – has been transferred from Castrum Deva (Castra Devana) in Britania (today the city of Chester in England) to the newly conquered territory of Dacia / Transylvania
