After the Roman takeover of Dacia, it was renamed Napoca and received the rank of "Municipium" in 124 AD. Due to its social and economic upswing, it was granted the title of "Colonia", the highest possible urban status in the Roman Empire, during the reign of Marcus Aurelius.

The former "Colonia" is now a lively student, administrative and cultural city. It is characterised by a good infrastructure, including excellent local transport connections and numerous leisure opportunities.
