Culture

Alba Iulia area synthesizes in a combined manner - through costume, tradition and customs - the influences from the Apuseni Mountains, from the surroundings of Mures, Sebes or Secas, the Romanians harmoniously living together with other nations settled here along ages. The famous vineyards of Alba Iulia, the melancholy Romanian folklore songs inspired from the genuine folklore of Mures valley and Apuseni Mountains, the beauty of costumes, the kindness and wisdom of the people, all these make this county a legendary realm.
 

In Alba Iulia can be found a Cultural Centre (House of Culture), five cinemas, one puppy theatre, one museum of international importance and 30 libraries from which the documentary library
"Batthyanaeum" with 60,000 books, set up in 1794, is a cultural institution of world reputation.
