Route of fortified churches
Fortified Churches: The Heart of the Protestant Saxon Community.
In the Saxon villages of Transylvania, where everything goes like clockwork, the fortified churches rise majestically on hilltops, not only as architectural structures but as symbols of a communal solidarity that has spanned centuries. Initially built for prayer and reflection, they quickly transformed into defensive citadels, reflecting the need for protection and unity in the face of the dangers of medieval times.
Some included in the UNESCO heritage, the fortified churches are reflections of the order and rigor that once prevailed here, telling a story of a modest life, discipline, and faith - valuable teachings for us, travelers.
