Overview

In this escorted day tour we travel to see some of the most beautiful fortified churches from Transylvania.
The tour of the two fortified churches from Transylvania is starting with the visit to Prejmer Fortified Church which is listed on UNESCO historic churches of Romania and is known as one of the best-preserved fortified churches in Transylvania and the largest fortified church in southeastern Europe.
The next stop in our tour is Harman Fortified Church, built in the 13th century by Saxons colonists in order to protect the church from different invaders.

Both of the fortified churches offer awesome places to take some photos and to understand the stories of Transylvania.

Fortified Church of Harman

The next stop in our tour is Harman Fortified Church, built in the 13th century by Saxons colonists in order to protect the church from different invaders. The church was surrounded by walls and bulwarks and had on its sides massive towers. The belfry tower, located on the church’s western side was built in the 14th century. During the 15th century, the circular-shaped curtain wall surrounding the church was fortified with prismatic towers and additional defensive structures including a moat and a Zwinger to the southeast. On the inside of the curtain wall, storage rooms are located on two levels around the wall’s perimeter. Particularly interesting are the storage rooms that were added above the basilica’s southern nave. Located in the eastern tower’s ground floor is the 14th-century funerary chapel which has preserved valuable mural paintings in Late Gothic style, dating from the late 15th century.
