First of all, admission costs 30 Lei (currently about €5.75), and the ticket office is located about 80 meters to the right of the entrance (around the corner to the left) 😅😁. But anyone visiting the city should definitely see the Palace of Culture (including the museum and the Hall of Mirrors)!

The Palace of Culture is located in the center of Targu Mures, Mures County. The building houses the Mures County Library, the Mures County Museum, and the Targu Mures State Philharmonic.

It was built between 1911 and 1914 in the Secession style* and consists of three sections: the main building, the right wing, and the left wing. Above the entrance hall is the Hall of Mirrors, located on the first floor of the building.

* The Vienna Secession (also known as the “Association of Austrian Visual Artists”) was an artistic movement closely related to Art Nouveau, founded in 1897 by a group of Austrian painters, graphic artists, sculptors, and architects including Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, Otto Wagner, and Gustav Klimt.

The fortress is well preserved / restored, surrounded all around by high defensive walls. It also includes a church, a beautiful park / lawns to relax on, and a café / restaurant. Admission to the fortress is free.
