Art & Crafts

Hello, My name is Mark Tudose and few years ago I have start "Art & Crafts" in Sighisoara. At first I have made a local artist gallery with handmade products around Sighisoara. I do the wood part in the gallery. In time we developed more opening a museum section for our gallery with pieces made of wood about 50 years ago. This year is for the first time when we will open this museum part for our customers. So, feel free to visit us and let me know your opinion. I really think that the only way for a craft it comes with the story behind. I hope you will like our stories.

We escaped! At the same time, we also saved the Bucharest /London subway from the BOMB. It was a fun team time, with smartly placed clues and interesting puzzles that were design to showoff a multitude of skills that each clever team has. Will gladly come back to try the other rooms. Andra monitored our game and her assistance was spot-on. Thank you :)

Peasant Fortified Church at Prejmer

Reviewed By Crvan - Weston, United States

This UNESCO site is a must visit when in Transylvania. It is one of the few fortified churches of its kind; especially in the great condition it is in. The church was erected in the early 1200's and this type of architecture and design was typical of that era as the towns were centered around the local church. If invaders were coming, the inhabitants of the area, who normally lived outside the church fortifications, would take refuge inside the church behind its fortifications. The walls were about 5 meters thick with further towers and battle stations to fend off the enemy. In the interior, there were rooms built to accommodate the people, storage for food and other items. The church itself was built in the middle of the circular fortified wall with a little green space. A very unique build but the church was not captured very many times over the centuries due to its impressive build and fortifications. Another must see in Transylvania.
