 | | On the passage to the left of the access corridor, above the Bratianu rooms, a number of rooms, subdivided by archways are dedicated to Iuliu Maniu, one of the fathers of Romanian democracy, who like Gheorghe Bratianu, also died in Sighet penitentiary, in 1953. |
 | | Thanks to his exemplary attitude in public life, Iuliu Maniu became between 23 August 1944 and July 1947 a symbol of democratic resistance to the country's communisation. |
 | | On November 11, 1947 he was convicted to hard labour for life at the trial of the National Peasant Party leadership, which followed the Tamadau incident, in which the leaders of the party had been tricked into attempting to flee the country. |
