The conference includes exhibitions, presentations and round-table talks, said the local Hungarian language paper Szabadság.
 
Bálint Szabó, who heads the restorers association, said the region?s wooden architecture would be among the most discussed topics at the conference.
 
Conference-goers will be shown restoration efforts over the past two decades and presented the most important studies on this work. They will also take a walk around the historic centre of Cluj-Napoca.
 
Leonard Horvath, who heads the Cluj County Cultural Directorate, said building heritage in Cluj-Napoca and in Transylvania could be popularised.
 
Among the positive examples of recent restoration work in the region is the Bontida Bánffy Castle, which is slowly returning to its former glory.
