CRIŞANA
Oradea
POP 176,231
Fans of art nouveau and Viennese Secession architecture dating from the late 19th and
early 20th centuries will want to make a special stopover in Oradea. While many of the
once-elegant buildings here have been allowed to fall into disrepair, visitors with a sharp
architectural eye will see Secession's signature lyric design elements and inlaid jewelwork
on buildings up and down the main pedestrian walkway, Calea Republicii, and across the
Crişul Repede river at the Black Eagle Arcade.
