Someșeni
Someșeni(formerly known asSomeșfalău;[1]German:Mikelsdorf;Hungarian:Szamosfalva) is a largely residential neighbourhood ofCluj-Napoca,Romania.
History
[edit]In the 5th century, the area was inhabited byGepids,as evidenced by the Treasure of Someșeni which was discovered in 1963.[2]
Originally a separate locality, Someșeni was first mentioned in a document from 1280. The Catholic church was built in the 13th century and still retains elements of Romanesque architecture.[3]
During the 20th century, the village was popular as a wellness tourism destination due to its well-known baths. They have since fallen into disrepair.[4]
TheCluj Airportwas established here on April 1, 1932, by the Romanian Ministry of Industry and Trade; the airport was declared an International Airport in 1933.[5]
Someșeni ceased to function as a separate entity and was attached to Cluj in 1968.[6]
