Cluj-Napoca

 German Klausenburg Hungarian Kolozsvár

City (pop., 2002: 702,755), northwestern Romania. Located in the Somesul Mic River valley on the site of an ancient town, Cluj took shape in the 12th century, became a thriving commercial and cultural centre, and in 1405 was declared a free town. It became the capital of Transylvania in the 16th century. In 1920 Transylvania was incorporated into Romania. In the mid-1970s the city was joined with neighbouring Napoca. It is home to a university; its institute of speleology (the study of caves) was the first in the world.
