Wealthy Roma Gypsy homes. Extravagant houses in garish colours, in typical Romanian Gypsy style with ornate metal zinc roofs and several balconies, often with symbols such as Mercedes Benz emblems, which was once considered the best made car. These houses or palaces often take years to build, their occupants working abroad, finishing the structures little by little. Huedin, near Cluj-Napoca, Romania
