Fortified church Dealu frumos

About

The church is situated in a side valley of the Hartibaci valley and has strong castle walls to all sides. The classical decorations inside are lavish and the tower stretches high. The monument dates to the 13th century and has been constantly enlarged. The fortified church in Dealul Frumos is one of the most conclusive examples of church-fortresses in southern Transylvania, owing to its position in the village and in the landscape and, above all, to the extent medieval structure and the harmonious relations established between the individual parts and the whole fortified church.

Built in the 12th century, the fortified church in Cisnădioara is one of Romania’s oldest Romanesque basilicas, preserved almost unchanged, and hosting the oldest church organ in the country. The legend has it that the village lads used to prove their strength before getting married by rolling uphill the big boulder stones from the monastery yard, gathered there for times of trouble. Presently the basilica at the feet of Cindrel Mountains comes alive at film projections, concerts or romantic picnics in the moonlight.
