Stop At: Peasant Fortified Church at Prejmer, East side of the Brasov Depression, Prejmer 507165 Romania

The complex of the fortified church in Prejmer is undoubtedly an undeniable testimony of the tradition of the Transylvanian Saxons, who have left us a true heritage full of monuments that sometimes we do not appreciate properly. The fortress of Prejmer was started by the Teutonic knights, somewhere around the year 1218, and then to be built in the style of the early Gothic, introduced in Transylvania by Cistercian monks. With the Turkish invasion of the fifteenth century, the systematic fortification of the place is begun, which can boast of an absolutely remarkable resistance, which did not allow even an Ottoman conquest.

Stop At: Fortified Church of Harman, Str. Pietii 2, Harman 507085 Romania

The powerful peasant fortress of Harman was built around the basilica mentioned first documented in 1240. The Romanesque trinavata church, dedicated to Saint Nicholas, preserves the semicircular apse and the original windows with traces of mural paintings visible on the outside. Under the influence of the Gothic architecture of the Cistercian bill, polio is windows were practiced on the upper part of the walls of the central nave, and the square boron was flanked by rectangular chapels. The southern chapel, today a lapidary, preserves the semi-cylindrical vault and Romanesque double windows, while the interior of the northern chapel, transformed into a sacristy and covered with a vault in the net around 1500, contains several figurative consoles and a swimming pool for liturgical objects.

Stop At: Primăria Sânpetru, Strada Republicii 655, Sânpetru 507190, Romania

The fortified evangelical church of Sânpetru was erected in 1794 on the foundation of an older church, completely demolished when its tower collapsed for the second time. The classic building was completed in 1817 with a new tower. The interior of the church is organized in a classic style unit, from the organ to the pillars decorated with parisons and to the altar with choir columns. Of the 3 rows of fortification walls from the 15th century, some remains of the outer wall and the second wall are preserved. The interior wall is fully preserved with five towers and bastions and with the buildings supported from the inside, with two levels, intended for storing supplies. Later, inside the wall, to the south, the old school and the old town hall were integrated. The northern tower appeared by the overbuilding of a 13th-century chapel, before the Protestant Reformation in which a cycle of frescoes in bright colors dating from around 1400 is preserved. [3]
