The Museum of Dacian and Roman Civilization in Deva is located at the foot of Deva Fortress, in the Magna Curia building, also known as Bethlen Castle, and was founded in 1882. Few people know that this building, which houses thousands of unique objects, is the oldest historical monument in Deva, having won the "battle" against time. In 1998, the building underwent a restoration process that was completed in 2006.
