History

In 1692 the Jesuits founded the grammar school. In 1773, the grammar school was abolished together with the Jesuit order. In 1780 Emperor Joseph II approved the reorganisation of the school under the name Gymnasium regium Cibiniensis. In 1789 it moved to the former Jesuit monastery in the main square, where it remained until 1898, when it moved to its new building. The language of instruction was originally Latin, then German from 1850, Hungarian from 1868 and Romanian from 1918.
