It is located in southwestern Transylvania near the [[Poiana Ruscă Mountains]], and administers five villages: Boș (''Bós''), Groș (''Grós''), Hășdat (''Hosdát''; ''Hochstätten''), Peștișu Mare (''Alpestes''), and Răcăștia (''Rákosd''). The city includes the most important [[Gothic architecture|Gothic]]-style secular building in Transylvania: the [[Hunyad Castle]], which is closely connected with the [[Hunyadi family]]. The castle was destroyed by fire five times, but underwent many reconstructions from [[Austro-Hungarian]] and later Romanian authorities. Besides the castle, the town developed as a production center for iron and a market for the mountain regions nearby. During the 20th century, Hunedoara's population increased to 86,000 inhabitants. The city contained [[Hunedoara steel works|the largest steel works in Romania]] (until [[Galați]] took the lead), but activity gradually diminished after the [[Romanian revolution]] of 1989 due to the loss of the market. This was a blow to the overall prosperity of the town, which is now recovering through new investments. The population consists of a [[Romanians|Romanian]] majority, with [[Hungarians]] and [[Romani people|Roma]] as the most important minorities. The city contains numerous parks, with poplars and chestnut trees flanking the streets. There are many tourist attractions, including a large dam with tourist facilities, located in the mountains a few kilometers from the city.
