Blue Guide Travels in Tranyslvania takes as its focus the towns and villages of the Greater T rnava Valley, home to an exceptional cultural heritage. Here Romanian, Hungarian, Saxon, Jewish and Roma cultures come together in an extraordinarily rich mix, against a backdrop of some of the loveliest landscapes in Europe. The main towns are Sighi?oara and Media? with their towers and citadels. The villages are famous for their unique fortified churches and unspoilt rural way of life. This 2nd edition includes a new chapter on the lovely city of Sibiu and two village churches with important early frescoes. |
