Memorandum Monument of Cluj-Napoca

Highlight • Monument

The monument to the signatories of the Memorandum for the Transylvanian Romanians was erected in 1994 on the centenary of the trial initiated against the Memorandists in 1894. The "Transylvanian Memorandum" was a petition addressed to the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Josef on 28 May 1892 by the leaders of the Romanians in Transylvania, demanding that the population have the same ethnic rights as the Hungarian population. In 1894, the signatories of the Memorandum were tried in Cluj. Most of the defendants were sentenced to prison terms, but after a few months they were pardoned by the monarch as a sign of reconciliation.

Matthias Corvinus House

Highlight • Historical Site

The "Casa Matei Corvin" is the birthplace of the future Hungarian king. It is the oldest secular building in the city, built in the 15th century in the Gothic style as a small guesthouse. Matthias Corvinus ("the Raven") was born here on February 23, 1443. He ascended the Hungarian throne in 1458 at the age of fourteen. In gratitude for the hospitality that the house owner Jakab Méhffi had once shown his heavily pregnant mother, King Matthias decreed in 1467 that Méhffi and all his descendants were exempt from all taxes and duties. Over the course of its history, the house served as a prison, hospital and museum. Today it houses an institute for fine arts at the local art and design college.
