‘Latin for ‘Land Beyond The Forest,’ where the Carpathian Mountains provide natural protection for the area, Transylvania is arguably among the best lookin’ in Europe. During medieval times, Transylvania was established as a principality under Hungarian rule, despite the Romanian population having an overwhelming majority. Feudal lords of different subregions followed various interests, which lead to the beginning of a series of alliances, betrayals, battles and fractured truces. This lasted until 1918 when the centuries old dream of the Romanian-speaking people happened: the Great Union of Alba Iulia when all Romanian provinces were united in the same state.’ Blaj, Alba, Transylvania, Romania. . .
