🔴 EN Transylvanian villages with fortified churches constitute a UNESCO World Heritage Site, classified because it was considered to offer a lively picture of the cultural landscape of southern Transylvania. The villages in this area are characterized by a specific system of land cultivation, a model of settlement, and the organization of peasant households preserved since the Middle Ages. The towns are dominated by their fortified churches, which illustrate building periods from the 13th century to the 16th century.
Transylvanian fortified churches are specific to the Saxon and Szekler villages located in the southeast of Transylvania. Once numbering around 300, the fortified churches played both a religious and a military role for more than five centuries. Numbering around 150 edifices at the beginning of the 21st century, Transylvanian fortified churches form one of the densest systems of well-preserved medieval fortifications on the European continent.
