Targu Mures Art Nouveau architectural european pearl
Targu Mures is known and recognised for its educational valences. The first documented educational institution within the present-day borders of Romania was founded in the Medieval Citadel of Targu Mures. It was called Schola Particola, which functioned alongside the Franciscan Monastery.
The history of the Reformed College began in the same space; at the beginning of the XVIIth century, the Catholic Secondary School was established, which today became the current “Unirea” National High School.
Later, schools for girls, and confessional schools for Romanians and Jews were founded, and in the interwar period - higher secondary schools and schools of arts and crafts. The first university in the city was the University of Medicine and Pharmacy in 1945.
From a cultural point of view, Targu Mures is a vibrant city whose spiritual foundation is defined by the Palace of Culture, one of the representative symbols of the Art Nouveau style in Romania.
The famous cultural edifice is known for the stained-glass windows in the Hall of Mirrors, which, in 1914, represented Europe at the San Francisco Decorative Art Exhibition.
Here, in the large concert hall of the Palace of Culture in Targu Mures, one of the most beautiful of its kind in Romania, the most powerful organ in the country can be seen, with its 4.488 pipes and three keyboards, which is still functional and on which almost any musical genre can be played.
Furthermore, it is worth noting that Targu Mures is home to the first public library on Romania’s current territory. This esteemed institution was established in 1802 under the patronage of Teleki Sámuel.
