Miercurea Ciuc in County Harghita
 Miercurea-Ciuc is the county seat of Harghita county. The city
lies in the east of the county in the Olt valley. Before 1918,
Miercurea-Ciuc was the capital of Csík County in the Kingdom of
Hungary.
After the city became the county seat of Harghita in 1968, a new
socialist style city centre was constructed. It began to develop
into the centre of Szekler culture and identity. In 2001 the old
Harghita Hotel was converted into the Sapientia Transylvanian
Hungarian University, which, although privately run, is the first
Hungarian university in Romania. Other cities in Transylvania also
have Sapientia University faculties. Since the university opened it
has been attracting more and more young people and intellectuals.
Miercurea-Ciuc is one of the coldest cities in the whole of
Romania, with winter temperatures often going under -30°C, making
the city ideal for winter sports. The Miercurea-Ciuc ice rink, Vákár
Lajos műjégpálya, annually hosts the national ice hockey
championships, often won by the local team, Csíkszeredai Sport Club.
Another source of pride in the city is the famous Ciuc beer (also
known as Csíki sör), considered by some to be the best beer in
Romania.

Petőfi Street is the main pedestrian street in the city. It has a
young feel thanks to the student presence, and houses many trendy
restaurants and fashionable cafés. Their Szekler specialities
conjure up images of a small city in Western Europe.
In the city centre, the main point of interest is the Mikó
Castle, built in a late Renaissance style. The original more
decorative castle was raised in the 17th Century on the orders of
Ferenc Mikó Hídvégi, the personal advisor of Gabriel Bethlen, the
governor of Transylvania at the time. Much of the castle was
destroyed in 1661 during the Tatar raids, but it was rebuilt at the
beginning of the 18th century and was mainly used as a barracks;
today it houses the Csík Székely Museum. Behind the castle you will
find a small Skanzen (museum village), consisting of a few
traditional Csík houses and wooden gates. Across the road from the
castle is the city hall built in 1886, originally the county hall of
the old Hungarian crown county. Beside the castle is the 1904
Courthouse. The latest significant addition to the architectural
landscape is the controversial 2001 Millennium Templom, designed by
Hungarian architect Imre Makovecz and located next to the Baroque
Church of the Holy Cross.
A few kilometres to the east of the city centre is the Csíksomlyó
church. A large meadow nearby has been the site of a yearly Roman
Catholic pilgrimage for many hundreds of years. The event attracts
several hundred thousand people every year and is held on Whit
Sunday in June. It is called the "Csíksomlyó Saint's Day"
(Hungarian: Csíksomlyói Búcsú). This traditional gathering is
attended by Székely and Csángó Hungarians living in the region, also
by a great number of (mostly Hungarian) Catholics from other parts
of Transylvania, from Hungary and all over the world.
