Old pictures from Târgu Mureş (Marosvasarhely)- for swap.

   All the postcards are part of a folder. They can't be sent as the back of them is full of text(both in English and Romanian). If anyone is interested I can make pictures of the back sides as well.

The current name Târgu Mureş, whose historical form was Oşorhei, is the equivalent of Marosvásárhely as Romanian 'târg' means 'market' and Hungarian 'vásárhely' means 'marketplace'. Alternate Romanian spellings of its name are Târgu-Mureş,Tîrgu Mureş and Tîrgu-Mureş.
Geographically, Târgu Mureş is distant 346 km from Bucharest , 480 km from Belgrade, 515 km from Budapest and 598 km from Sofia and is located in the Mureş River valley. The city spreads out from Fortress Church in the center of the town, built in the 14th century, to form an area of 49.3 square kilometres.







If interested in more details about the pictures please let me know.
