The town of Orastie was called "Land of the Fairies" because of all of its natural beauties and historical heritage: medieval fortress (Hunedoara, Deva, Alba-Carolina of Alba-Iulia), museums (ethnographic, Romanian village) many churches (orthodox, Rom.-catholic, Gr.-catholic and protestant), archaeological sites (ruins of Sarmizegetusa Regia, thermal baths of Geoagiu-Bai) and many more. Orastie is famous by the cultural activities in the field of publications (books and newspapers) but also the choral music - the "Choir of Orastie" being a widespread phrase.
