Cluj-Napoca is the main city of Transylvania, in north-west Romania, built along the Someșul Mic river at the foot of wooded hills. The main square, Piața Unirii, is dominated by the Gothic Church of St Michael and the statue of King Matthias Corvinus, who was born in the city in 1443. Baroque and Habsburg-era buildings around it house cafés, and the Orthodox cathedral stands on a nearby square.
