Behold the architectural marvel. National Theater, Cluj-Napoca, Romania

The Lucian Blaga National Theater, located in the Romanian city of Cluj-Napoca, is a cultural icon of the area. Performances there showcase classical and contemporary Hungarian dramas based on progressive and international trends. The opulent theater was built in the Neo-Baroque style, popular in the late 19th century, which calls back to the grandiosity, color, and detail of the Baroque movement that aims to dazzle anyone who enters the space. It is one of three National Theaters in Romania, alongside National TheaterBucharest and Iași National Theatre.
