Building |
Bethlen Castle or "Magna Curia" that houses the museum of Deva is the oldest historic monument building of Deva that has been preserved. In 1582, governor Francisc Geszty raised a house at the foot of the Deva Fortress. In this house lived princes Sigismund Bathory, Basta, Ștefan Bocskay, Gavril Bathory, and from 1613 to 1621 Gabriel Bethlen, the one who raised the Magna Curia in 1621. Some transformations were undertaken in the first half of the 18th century, when it gets a relevantly Baroque look. |

History |
The museum was reorganized in 1970, 1981 and restructured in 1991. |
