Explore the amazingly unique courtyard and let yourself to be impressed by the creativity of its medieval inhabitants.

From there head to Harman, the close relative of Prejmer. With its white walls, the fortified church in Harman allows you a glimpse in a different time, when churches were more than just places where people prayed, and they were used as places of refuge in time of need.

End the day at Rasnov, the citadel built on top of a hill, where more than 80 houses were built inside the walls to accommodate three villages in times of need. Walk the narrow streets of the fortification and enjoy amazing views of Barsa Land from the observation deck on top of the citadel.
