Definitely confirm the historical legacy of this city, as a rich, important commercial center on Târnava valley. Located on the road between Sibiu and Sighișoara, in a region of wine production, the city ercted this schrine to mark its importance in the city's cotidian life and to display his economic power to all visitors. Very beautiful and well maintained. Also recommend a guided visit, very interesting for individuals attempting to learn more about the whereabouts of the church and city. Tours can be booked instant at the Gift-shop inside the church enclosure. (Ask for Mr. Lutz Connert)

Biertan is one of the most important Saxon villages with fortified churches in Transylvania, having been on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1993. The Biertan fortified church was the see of the Lutheran Evangelical Bishop in Transylvania between 1572 and 1867. Also there you will find a lock door that needs 4 keys to open, but has more than 20 lock devices inside. The entrance cost 2 euros.

Completed in 1922 for the coronation of King Ferdinand and Queen Marie after the unification of Romania in 1918. In plan it is based on a Greek cross with multiple domes topped with large decorated crosses. The inside walls, as in most Orthodox churches, are highly decorated with Biblical scenes, saints, martyrs, angels, Mary and Jesus. There are numerous lovely icons around the church and a huge iconostasis containing all of the usual icons. A truly wonderful place to visit.

Preserved and maintained extremely well. A self guided tour takes you through the grounds, the church and even the tower for a great vista of the grounds and surrounding countryside. Well worth a visit.

The church is a good example of a fortified Saxon church, the chapel in the walls had great frescoes. There is a small ethnographic museum inside as well as toilets. The climb to the bell tower is not for the faint of heart, but the view is great, although impeded somewhat by the wire mesh placed over the windows.

It might be the climb through the forest, the low stone wall surrounding the hilltop, the austere interior or the breathtaking views of the valley, but Cisnadioara impressed me the most out of all the fortified churches in Transylvania. There's a feeling of serenity sitting on the benches, watching the surrounding valleys and hills. I feel this church has no place in time, instead it belongs to a legend. This might seem pretentious, but if you like mysterious and romantic places, definitely go to Cisnadioara.
