"Hunyadi" is an beautiful place, more internationally recognized name for the same family, "Corvins" being used mostly by Romanians.

Deva is situated in the central part of Hunedoara County, on the left bank of the middle course of the Mureş River at 187 m above sea level. Deva is the home of Romania's national women gymnastics training center called Colegiul National Sportiv "Cetatea" Deva. Deva is dominated by the Citadel Hill, a protected nature reserve because of its rare floral species and the presence of the horned adder. Perched on the top of the hill are the ruins of the Citadel built in the 13th century.
