The tour begins in Brasov and takes you on a journey back to the Saxon era, when German Saxons arrived in Transylvania during the 12th century and played a vital role in the development of strongholds and fortified churches across the region. With your English-speaking guide, explore two of the best-preserved fortified churches in Eastern Europe—Prejmer and Harman. At Prejmer, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, admire its Gothic architecture and Latin cross layout while learning about its defensive design, including 14-meter-high and 5-meter-thick walls built to repel Ottoman invasions. Your guide will share fascinating stories from its long history, dating back to 1427. Continue to Harman to explore its Roman Basilica and Gothic-inspired structures, stroll around the moat and west tower, and step inside to discover a collection of 13th-century paintings. This immersive cultural experience offers insight into the lasting legacy of the Transylvanian Saxons.
