Communism reigned in the city for four gothic-spiresdecades. After communism fell, capitalism crept in. It has made the city as one of the places in Europe to be flocked by outsiders. Damages from the Second World War were only minimal and most of the city’s dazzling architecture, Gothic spires, and baroque-inspired domes are still standing. Art Nouveau maidens and Cubist façades also still grace the cityscape.
