Fortified churches in Transylvania
(12 May 2023)
Transylvania is famous for its more than 160 fortified churches, whose history dates back to the Middle Ages. At that time, the region was a contested border area. The inhabitants responded to the threats by fortifying their churches with defensive structures.
Over the centuries, the structures were expanded and rebuilt. Many of them have been preserved to this day and form a globally unique landscape of fortified churches, characterized by the particular density and diversity of these architectural monuments.
