You should definitely do Iași soon. I know Moldavia gets no love, but that city was also a capital in the past. I'm sure you will find many places worth seeing.
I love the city! I would actually live to be able to go back there and film it. A bit crowded for my taste, but every time I have been there people were really nice and the food is simply the best. So, even if there are 18m people living in Istanbul, the place is a cultural and gastronomic masterpiece.
1785. Not 1885. The Revolt of Horea, Closca and Crisan was 31 October 1784 - 28 February 1785. The peasant revolt soon turned into religious and ethnic cleansing. Between the autumn 1784 and the winter up to1785, civilian casualties were about 4000 people from 133 settlements, mostly Hungarians. Among the victims were many women and children. Horea and Closca were executed by the Hungarian authorities by breaking on the wheel on 28 February 1785 at Gyulafehérvár (today Alba Iulia). The third leader Crisan hanged himself on the night before the execution.
I do not want to hurt the romanian people, but like most transilvanian cities - this city also was built mostly by hungarian and german people.Romania got it just in 1920, although most of the people were already romanian by that time here.
Frumos oras . Pacat ca este locuit. Locul in care toata lumea e perversa . Orasul unde toata lumea arde pe toata lumea. Doar eticheta e de el. Totul e la suprapret,.DE EVITAT!
Alba Lulia is another of the Transylvanian cities founded, and cultivated by German colonial immigrants of past centuries. It German name is Karlsburg.
actually it is much older. First it was a Slavic settlement (Belgorod), than it was the administrative and religious center of Hungarian Transylvania (Gyulafehérvár). The town itself was never a German settlement, the Transylvania Saxon were even in constant conflict with the Archbishop of Weißenburg (the old German name). Only in Habsburg times, the town regained importance again, when they built the largest fortification of Transylvania there (and renamed the town Karlsburg in honor of the Habsburg Emperor Karl VI.) ... also with the help of Saxon craftsmen of whom some stayed there, but few. Most of the time the population was half Hungarian, half Romanian. But among the Transylvanian cities Alba Iulia was always only second tier, Cluj/Klausenburg/Kolosvár, Sibiu/Hermannstadt/Nagyszeben and Brașov/Kronstadt/Brasso were always larger and more important and still are. The other second tier towns were Turda/Thorenburg/Torda, Aiud/Straßburg/Nagyenyed, Sighișoara/Schäßburg/Segesvár, Mediaș/Mediasch/Megyes and Târgu Mureș/Neumarkt/Marosvasarhely. All the traditional names of the town, Belgorod, Gyulafehérvár, Alba Iulia, Weißenburg, all mean the same: white castle (of Gyula/Iulia). Bel means "white" in Slavic and gorod means castle/town (just as in Belgrade/Serbia). Fehér means white in Hungarian and vár is castle (just as in Szekesfehérvár in Hungary). Alb is white in Romanian, just as in Cetatea Alba (former Bessarabai, now in Ukraine).
Alba Iulia's gorgeous but this video's terrible. The camerawork darts rapidly from one scene to another so much if made me feel travel sick. A slow walk with a steady camera works perfectly, this video is a mess.
Thank you for taking your time to share your thoughts. It seems to me that you haven't passed the 40 seconds mark, and maybe you should give it another try after the Intro is finished. And yes, Alba Iulia is amazing :)
Apulum e clar nume sasesc , nu era nimeni aici cand ati venit voi.Sau era si l-ati luat de la cineva , asa cum v-a fost si voua luat.Nu vad unde vrei sa ajungi cu vrajeala ta.Ca l-ati avut 1000 de ani?Inseamnca nu o sa va mai cacati pe voi daca-l tinem noi 1000 de ani sau cum?
Romanii ar fi destepti daca ar muta capitala administeativa si diplomatica a tari la Alba Iulia. Bucuresti ar ramane doar capitala administrativa a sudului tarii asa cum Clujul ar deveni capitala administrativa a Transilvaniei, Iasul al Moldovei, Timisoara a Banatului. Decentralizarea ar putea sa dea un nou impuls in dezvoltarea regionala. Ca pozitie strategica prun centralitatea ei Alba Iulia e perfecta. Ne-ar ajuta sa ne debarasam incetul cu incetul de turcismul balcanic in care ne complacem de mai bine de 100 de ani. Sa imprumuti obiceiurile austroungarilor si a nemtilor pastrandu-ti limba romana ca element unificator nu cred ca ar fi cea mai rea solutie ptr Romania viitorului.

Moldavia should get more love. I have Suceava in 4k and I will release it soon.

Both you and Charlie Ottley.
Multumesc, Cristi. Mai e pana ministrul angajeaza freelanceri pt promovare :)
oh dang I just realized... your accent reminds me of Shirvan from CaspianReport. Obviously not the same! Just reminds of his voice sorta kinda.
I just clicked on his channel and my accent is indeed similar to his. Funny enough to keep me motivated :))
Hello Cristian. What are your thoughts about Istanbul? I am very curious. You have very good comments about cities.
I love the city! I would actually live to be able to go back there and film it. A bit crowded for my taste, but every time I have been there people were really nice and the food is simply the best. So, even if there are 18m people living in Istanbul, the place is a cultural and gastronomic masterpiece.
@@FramingReality Sadly all alcoholic beverages are hard to find and expensive!

Love Alba Carolina !
Great place to discover Romania's history.
Nice and informative, but where are the people!
Great observation, Nina!
I filmed the city in the peak of Covid Pandemic and that's why it was so empty.
I'm sure it's a different story now :)

un oras fabricat de MIHAI VITEAZU cu o inima
Este un oraș săsesc… Mihai viteazu nu are istorie și loc in Ardeal…
