Union Square
Piața Unirii
Oradea's central square, surrounded by Art Nouveau palaces, churches and the town hall. It is the most beautiful architectural ensemble in the city.
Union Square is the core of Oradea's old town. Around it stand the Black Eagle Palace, the Moon Church, St Ladislaus Church, the town hall and the Greek Catholic bishop's palace. The architecture ranges from Baroque and Eclecticism to Art Nouveau, and the buildings have been restored in bright colors. In the centre of the square stands an equestrian statue of Michael the Brave. The lighting at night is beautiful, and there is a Christmas market in December. Admission is free, and walking can link the main sights nearby.
