The Botanical Gardens, Cluj-Napoca (must see)

The Cluj-Napoca Botanical Gardens, officially the Alexandru Borza Cluj-Napoca University Botanic Garden, was founded in 1920 by Alexandru Borza. The garden is over 14 hectares in area, with over 10,000 plants from throughout the world. It is divided into ornamental, phytogeographic (geobotanical), systematic (taxonomical), economic, and medicinal sections. Romanian flora and vegetation are represented by plants from areas such as the Transylvanian plains, the Carpathian Mountains, and Banat. Among the Botanical Garden's notable attractions are the Japanese Garden (a garden in Japanese style, with a brook and a Japanese-style house) and the Roman Garden with archaeological remains from the Roman colony of Napoca, among them a statue of Ceres, goddess of cereals and bread. These are featured alongside cultivated plants that dominate contemporary Romanian agriculture.
