Pădurea Ceala

Catedrala Ortodoxă Sfânta Treime Arad

The Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Arad is one of the most imposing churches of the city, a monumental place of worship raised in the twentieth century to meet the needs of the Orthodox community. The large edifice blends elements of Byzantine architecture with Moldavian and Brancovan influences, with broad domes and an outline that dominates the urban landscape. The interior is richly decorated with fresco and mosaic painting, a carved iconostasis and chandeliers, creating a solemn atmosphere. The cathedral is a centre of religious life in Arad and an architectural landmark admired by visitors. Through its scale and decoration it reflects the importance of the Orthodox community in this multicultural city of the Banat. Set in the central area, the cathedral fits naturally into a sightseeing route; visitors are asked to respect the quiet and the schedule of services.

Crama Balla Geza

Crama Balla Geza, at Ghioroc in the Miniș-Măderat region near Arad, is known for its vines on stone terraces — a distinctive terroir where volcanic rock stores heat and gives wines with minerality and structure. Winemaker Geza Balla works the native Cadarcă, Arad's historic red once served at the courts of Vienna, alongside Fetească Neagră, Furmint and international grapes, in ranges such as Stone Wine. The wines have won numerous awards and put Miniș back on the map of good wine. The estate welcomes visitors for tastings and tours among the hillside vines, near the western border. It's an excellent stop for anyone entering the country from Hungary or exploring the west, with a red wine of old tradition.

Wine Princess

Wine Princess is a family winery in the Miniș region near Arad, carrying forward the west's tradition of quality reds with a modern, well-kept touch. It works the native Cadarcă alongside Cabernet, Merlot and whites such as Mustoasă de Măderat, in balanced, fruity, accessible wines. In a discreet region with an old winegrowing history — Miniș Kadarka once reached Vienna — the winery helps rediscover the potential of the place. The estate welcomes visitors for tastings in a personal, small-winery atmosphere, where you receive the wine from the hands of those who make it. It's a warm stop for anyone exploring Crișana and the west, within easy reach of Arad.
