The main historical area of Alba Iulia is the upper city, developed extensively by Charles VI of the Holy Roman Empire. The Habsburgs renamed the city Karlsburg in honor of Charles. The upper city's citadel was constructed 1716-1735, containing the Gothic Catholic cathedral and the Batthyaneum, a museum founded in 1794. The tomb of John Hunyadi is also located in the cathedral, as is that of the Polish-born Isabella Jagello, Queen of Hungary.
