The history of ARSENAL PARK began 2,000 years ago. ARSENAL PARK lies on the outskirts of Orăştie, in the centre of the former kingdom of Dacia, equidistant from the Dacian settlements of Blidaru, Costeşti and Sarmizegetusa Regia in the Orăştie mountains. It was the land of Decebal and Deceneu, and the country where Trajan’s legions once marched forth.
In 2003, the BEGA GRUP acquired the insolvent factory and transformed the ruined workshops, the bunkers and the ammunition warehouses into a modern holiday oasis. ARSENAL PARK has not lost its military atmosphere, but in the place where people once manufactured mines and explosives, now they produce peace. What appeared to be the end of one era marked the beginning of another in the site’s history.
During medieval times, the fortress of Orăştie survived the Mongol invasion, the Turkish sieges, the plague of 1738 and numerous feudal battles. There are another two impressive bastions within close range: Corvin Castle in Hunedoara and the fortress of Deva.
The site occupied by ARSENAL PARK has strong military connections. It’s easy to see why, in 1938, King Carol II gave an order for an experimental army site to be established here. During the communist era, the site was turned into a munitions factory. It was formerly one of the most heavily guarded locations in Romania.
