Haţeg - Folklore, Culture, Architecture:

The area of Hateg is a starting point towards the sites of the Dacian fortresses in Orăştiei Mountains (Blidaru and Costeşti) and towards the Geoagiu-Băi resort, anciently famous for its spas. However, the gemstone of Hateg Country is Colonia Ulpia Traiana Augusta Dacica Sarmizegetusa, bulit during 106-271 B.C. under the Roman rule. It was the most important religious and cultural metropolis of the Dacia Province. It still preserves the foundations, a series of walls, columns and the amphitheatre.
