The Medieval Fortress
Built in the proximity of the center of the city, The Medieval Fortress covers an area of 4, 30 hectares, having in its structure a fortified enclosure and 7 bulwarks. The history of this fortress is connected to the personality of Stefan Bathori who, in 1492, gave the command to start the entrenchment of a group of monasteries in the city, which later received the name of “The Small Castle”. All that is left from the ancient fortification is the Small Tour, as the restwas destroyed during the Austro-Hungarian occupation, when the entire fortress was turned into a garrison. After 1989, the fortress went through a period oftransition. After being almost completely renovated, it became an active urban center, as the coffee shops and museums appeared, hosting concerts and theatre representations. | ||

The Teleki Library
Built between 1799 and 1804, under the direct guidance of Teleki Samuel, the Teleki- Bolyai Library affords shelter to over 60.000 books, among which we can count 66 incunabulums and a wide variety ofrare book editions. It also hosts the memorial exhibition of the mathematicians Bolyai Farkas and Bolyai János- the creator of the non-Euclidean geometry. The building, where the Teleki Library still operates, was erected for this purpose, in Baroque style, between 1799 and 1802, by Count Teleki Samuel. A special placeis reserved for his wife’s library, Iktári Bethlen Zsuzsanna (1754-1797). It had 2000 volumes, collection which has been entirely preserved. The second collection, The Bolyai Library, is named after the two mathematicians that lived and worked in Targu-Mures and it represents the dowry of the Old Reformed College from the city (Bolyai Highschool). | ||

The
An most imposing baroque edifice located in the center of the city, the church was built by the Jesuits between1728 and 1764, following the construction plans of architect Scherzer Valentin and under the coordination of architect Konrad Hammer from Cluj. The main façade, oriented towards The Roses’ Square, looks like the Church of the Jesuits from Cluj, work of the same architect. Simultaneously with the rise to the altar of the painting called “The Baptism of Jesus” in 1755, created by the famous Austrian painter Michelangelo Unterberger, and brought by the Jesuits since 1731, the work at the main altar is finished. The pulpit, neo-baroque style, was mounted in1757. | ||
