The Central Park of Băile Herculane

The Roman  Baths  from  Băile  Herculane  dates  from 153 AD and are still functional today, after about 2000 years. They are located at the basement of the Roman Hotel, built on the old baths.

The monument was made entirely of white marble from Ruschita. Initially, it was built on a place called "Seven Springs" on the road between Ruschita and the Pades Peak.  The monument was built in 1936 and inaugurated on August 3rd, 1937. In 1986 it was moved at the entry of the Rusca Montana village, where it is today.

The Kinetic Fountain is located in the city center of Resita and it is one of the 9 kinetic fountains of the Romanian monumental sculptor, Constantin Lucaci, winner of the Herder Award in 1984.

The casino, built in Baroque style by the Austrian architect Carl Wilhelm Christian Doderer in 1864, recalls the elegance of Vienna's imperial aristocracy, including a sumptuous performance hall, restaurant and a bazaar with 14 vaults and 12 imposing windows. Upstairs is the "Silver Hall", the place where the elites gathered to indulge in gambling. Opulent balls were held on the terrace of the Casino in the resort on the bank of the Cerna, where the aristocrats danced the waltz under candlelight, recalling the imperial splendor of Vienna. The special evenings of the time proved to be a precious source of inspiration for artists, the composer Jakob Mathias Pazeller dedicating a waltz piece to this building in 1903.

The tower in Cacova-Grădinari is part of a once extensive military organization, after 1250. It is likely that the tower was part of a construction that at first had no religious purpose, and only after 1360 when the paramilitary fortification was abandoned, the locals framed the tower in the architecture of an orthodox church. photo source text source
