Known as the "City of Scholars," Năsăud has a storied past rooted in its military and educational significance within Transylvania. Established as the headquarters for the 2nd Border Regiment under the Habsburg Monarchy in the 18th century, the town fostered a unique culture of discipline and intellectual pursuit. This environment produced an astonishing number of scholars, including 21 members of the Romanian Academy, earning the town its prestigious nickname. Visitors can explore the Border Guards Museum, located in a former Austrian military building, to understand the strategic role the region played in defending imperial borders. Năsăud remains a cultural bastion where traditional customs, such as the elaborate folk costumes featuring peacock feather headdresses, are still preserved and celebrated during local festivities and historical commemorations.
