\nIt is located in Sibiu County, only 20 kilometres away from Sighisoara and is a tourist destination worth visiting. In the heart of the village there is a 15th century fortified church surrounded by hills, built in the form of a late Gothic hall-church. It has preserved its appearance to the present day.<\/p>\n

One of the most interesting buildings in the whole complex is the divorce chamber or ‘marriage prison’, a place where couples who wanted to divorce were forced to spend a few weeks together, sharing only a room, a chair, a set of crockery and a bed.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1305″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]\n

2. The village of Viscri<\/strong><\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Viscri is a village in the commune of Bune\u0219ti in Brasov County and is among the most visited villages in Romania.<\/p>\n

3. The Bazalt Columns and the Raco\u0219 Volcano<\/strong><\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The village of Raco\u0219 is about an hour from Brasov (68 km) and has in its immediate vicinity a natural monument, the Basalt Columns, which form a protected area of national interest with an area of 1.10 ha. These are columnar basalt massifs with a geology characterised by the presence of lava flows. They are 30 metres long and up to 15 metres high and are structured in 3 eruptive phases.<\/p>\n

Nearby is the extinct volcano, in an area with poorer, reddish vegetation. In the past, volcanic slag was mined here. Now it is no longer exploited because it has been declared a protected area and reserve (Per\u0219ani Geopark).[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1302″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]\n

6. The peasant fortress of C\u00e2lnic<\/strong><\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The C\u00e2lnic Fortress – Kelling in German – is located just three kilometres from the motorway between Sebe\u0219 and Sibiu, in the middle of a charmingly situated village in the Podi\u0219ul Seca\u0219elor.<\/p>\n

It is one of the most interesting architectural monuments in Romania. The specificity of the place lies in the combination of the noble residence and the fortification of the free village community.<\/p>\n

The C\u00e2lnic Fortress is currently used as a cultural centre where exhibitions, documentary and art film presentations, numerous symposiums, conferences and classical music concerts are held.<\/p>\n

It is the only Transylvanian monument included in the UNESCO World Heritage List that was not built around a church.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1304″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]\n

Historians say that the rock monastery was dug out in the 1700s, when the persecution of Orthodox Christians in Transylvania began.<\/p>\n

\u0218inca Veche was a border town, and people were forced to switch to the Romanian Church United with Rome by order of Empress Maria Terezia.<\/p>\n

Christians say that this is the place where wishes come true, others call it the “Temple of the Chosen Ones”.<\/p>\n
