Gherla

Gherla (Hungarian: Szamosjvr; German: Armenierstadt) is a town in Cluj county, Romania, located 45 km from Cluj-Napoca, with a population of 24,232. A reference to village was first recorded in 1291 under the name Gherlahida, probably derived from the Slavic word grle, meaning "ford". Later, the name of Szamosjvr was used in official Hungarian records, meaning "the new town on the Someş". A fortress was built here and in 1785, it was transformed into a prison, which, during the Communist regime, was used for political detainees.
