Straddling on the banks of Mures River, Arad is the only city
in Romania to be shared by two of the country’s historic
provinces: Crisana and Banat. The city traces its history back
to the 11th century and developed as a major trading post during
the Turkish occupation, between 1551 and 1699. After 1699,
Arad was ruled by the Habsburg Monarchy and in 1834 it was
declared a „free royal town”, by Emperor Francis I of Austria.
Today, Arad is an important industrial center and transportation
hub and, home to two universities, a Romanian Orthodox theological
seminary, a Training Institute for teachers, and a music conservatory.
