The bell depicts scenes from the three Romanian principalities of Transylvania, Wallachia, and Moldavia. As a whole, it is a monument to the unity of Greater Romania since 1918.

The monument to Mihaj Viteazul (Michael the Brave) is the city's most monumental sculpture. The equestrian statue was erected in 1976. Michael the Brave was the first ruler to briefly unite three Romanian provinces: Wallachia, Moldavia, and Transylvania, in 1599 and 1600.

The National Museum of the Union (Muzeul Național al Unirii) is housed in Alba Iulia's largest Romantic-style building, built between 1851 and 1853. It once housed the Habsburg army in the citadel. Its residents were recruited from across the Habsburg Empire, and it was said that "all the languages of the world" were spoken here. Hence, locals called the building the "Babylon Building." With its thick walls and over 100 rooms, it resembles a fortress within a fortress. After the union of 1918, the Romanian army moved in. It wasn't until November 28, 1968, that the National Museum of the Union opened in the building, one of Romania's most famous museums, both culturally and scientifically.

The Fourth Gate of the Alba Iulia Citadel (Poarta a Patra) is also called the Bishop's Gate. The gate, which provides access from the west to the castle courtyard, is decorated in the Baroque style. The upper part of the gatehouse housed the living quarters of the Austrian army personnel, while the guard rooms were located below. During the summer months, actors reenact historical events here every Friday starting at 7 p.m.

The magnificent Royal Gate, with its high gate tower, was built as the portico of the new Holy Trinity Cathedral (Cathedral of the Reunification of the Nation) for the coronation of King Ferdinand I of Romania and Queen Maria in 1922. It is located slightly north of the existing fourth gate of the citadel and is accessible via a bridge from Union Park.

The Romanesque-Gothic Basilica of St. Michael is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Alba Iulia. It was built after the founding of the diocese in 1009, but was so severely damaged by the Tatars in 1241 that a new building was necessary. This was constructed in two phases, between 1246 and 1291 and between 1320 and 1356. In the mid-16th century, St. Michael's Cathedral became Calvinist and remained so during the Ottoman period. Around 1700, the cathedral and diocese were re-Catholicized under Habsburg rule. Of the two towers apparently planned, only the southern one was completed; its current form is the work of several centuries.
