Hui Chin and I found Arad a very nice large city, near the Hungarian border.

Full of interesting sights and things to do.

Have a very interesting history too.


After the four power suppression of the 1848 Hungarian Revolution, the leading 13 Hungarian Generals and politicians were executed here.
They shall ever be remembered.
