National Museum of Unification in Alba Iulia |

|
Description: This establishment
was founded in 1887 and it occupies two important buildings
in the middle of the City: The Babilon Building, built up
in 1851 and The Unification Hall Building, built up in 1906.
The museum exhibits over 130000 pieces of priceless works
included in its patrimony, starting with a pre-historia section,
then Dacian-Roman and feudal sections, the great battles with
the Turks, the Revolution in 1848, the Unification of the
Principalities in 1859, the Unification of Transylvania with
Romania
etc. The Unification Hall was highlightened in 1895 as the
Military Casino of the Garrison in Alba Iulia, but its distinctive
historical signification is given by the fact that it hosted,
on the First of December 1918, the Rally of the 1228 Romanian
delegates from all Transylvania, who decided the Unification
of this ancient province with Romania.
