Ruins of the Franciscan Church

An 18th-century Vauban-style fortification on the site of an earlier Ottoman fort. But it is a military base and closed to the public; you can't even see much of the exterior among the tangled shrubs.

Imposing cultural complex, dating from 1911-13, in an eclectic style mix of neoclassical, Gothic and Renaissance elements. The museum has three divisions: fine arts, natural sciences, and archaeology/history. The philharmonic orchestra (filarmonia) has regular concerts: the box office is in the Ioan Slavici Theatre.

Stately school building, built from 1869–1873 with Renaissance and Baroque elements. It was thoroughly refurbished after 2010 and made one of Romania's best equipped schools.

Impressive city hall, built in 1876 in Renaissance Revival style.

Built in 1906 from red bricks (hence the nickname), Gothic Revival style.

One of the oldest secular buildings in the city, built for a Viennese merchant in 1815. The building's distinctive mark, a brass-coated log, was modeled after the famous "Stock-im-Eisen" in central Vienna and used by travelling journeymen to leave a mark of their guild. After being stolen (and recovered) in 1994, the log was moved to the Museum of Art, to protect it from other thieves.
