Blaj (German: Blasendorf) is in Alba County and situated next to the Tarnăvel river. Blaj was the cultural center of the Transylvanian Romanians in the 18th and 19th centuries. The city played an important role in the formation of the modern Romanian language and the Romanian national consciousness. This is where the Blaj Bible appeared, and here Timoftei Cipariu published the first Romanian grammar.
