Orăștie is a historic municipality in Hunedoara County, Western Romania, originally established as one of the major seats of the Transylvanian Saxons, known in German as Broos. With a history spanning over eight centuries, it has been a crucible of culture, education, and religious coexistence. A landmark event occurred here in 1582 with the printing of the 'Palia de la Orăștie', the first Romanian-language translation of the Old Testament. The city's heart is its fortified church complex, an architectural rarity that protects both Reformed and Lutheran churches within its medieval walls. Geographically, Orăștie sits in the Mureș River valley, serving as the essential hub for tourists exploring the Dacian Fortresses of the Orăștie Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Today, the city balances its medieval charm with a modern industrial profile, hosting factories for essential oils, chemical products, and footwear, while continuously developing its urban space and cultural institutions.
