Romania Saxon Village 🇷🇴 Villages With Fortified Churches in Transylvania

The Saxon villages of Transylvania appeared in the twelfth century when the Kings of Hungary settled German colonists in the area. They had a special status among nations in the province and their civilisation managed to survive and thrive, forming a very strong community of farmers, artisans and merchants. Being situated in a region constantly under the threat of the Ottoman and Tatar invasions, they built fortifications of different sizes. The most important towns were fully fortified, and the smaller communities created fortifications centered on the church, where they added defensive towers and storehouses to keep their most valuable goods and to help them withstand long sieges.

Europen villages are really very beautiful.

I visited Sighisoara which is very beautiful and has historic churches and tower. I also visited two fortified churches. This area has many interesting buildings. I really recommend to visit Transylvania.
