It is a place full of history, consisting of three fortifications, built in different periods: the Camp, the Medieval Fortress and the White Carolina Fortress.

2. Obelisk "Horea, Closca and Crisan"
We certainly do not have to mention who they are and how important they were for the history of our country.
With a height of over 20 m, the obelisk was erected in 1937 and is located at the Third Gate of Alba Carolina Fortress, being a tribute to the three leaders. If in the past the monument had the role of protecting the main gate of the fortress, today it represents a point of reference in the memory of the Rebellion of 1784.

The building in which the museum operates was built between 1851-1853, in romantic style. The museum is among the best known in our country, and its collections number about 200,000 heritage objects. These objects will take you back in time, from the prehistoric period to the period of the Dacians and Romans, reaching Horea's Rebellion until today.
