• Rupea Fortress - This medieval stronghold was constructed beginning in the 14th century on Cohalm Hill. The earliest recorded mention is from 1324 when Saxons, rebelling against King Charles Robert of Hungary, sought refuge within the fortress, known as Castrum Kuholm. The name Kuholm refers to the basalt rock on which it was built. Documents from the 15th century highlight the fortress as a significant center for trade and crafts, housing 12 guilds. Over time, the citadel served both as a fortification and a refuge for people living in the nearby hills and valleys, strategically located at the crossroads connecting Transylvania, Moldova, and Wallachia through southeastern passes. Rupea Citadel, perched on Cohalmului Hill and overlooking the city, was constructed and expanded from the 14th to the 17th centuries, serving as a fortress and sanctuary for surrounding villages.
• Viscri Fortified Church - The journey begins in the 14th-century village of Viscri, established by Saxon settlers. It boasts one of the most beautiful and ancient fortified churches in Transylvania. Stroll through the village’s rustic streets and visit its UNESCO World Heritage-listed church. Engage with the locals, sample the village-made palinca (brandy), purchase handmade goods crafted by the villagers, and refresh with the delightful fruit syrup “Socata.”
• Historic Center of Sighisoara - Sighisoara is renowned as one of the most beautiful and well-preserved inhabited citadels in Europe, featuring authentic medieval architecture. It is among the few fortified towns still inhabited. Vlad Tepes, also known as Dracula, was born here in 1431, and visitors can explore the house where this enigmatic figure was born. Central Sighisoara has remarkably preserved the characteristics of a small medieval fortified city and is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
