Cugir (31,000 inhabitants) was established in 1493. The town is located in
the west-central region of Romania, in the county of Alba about 45 kilometers
south-west of Alba-Iulia, the capital of the county, and 300 meters a.s.l. in
the Surianu Mountains. A
detailed history
of the town is available in English. The motto "Longum iter est per praecepta,
breve et efficax per exempla" reads "The journey is long through advice, but
efficient through examples". It was coined by Seneca, Letters to Lucilius, VI.
