Description
Baroque, Renaissance, Neoclassical, Romanesque, Gothic, Flamboyant, Art Nouveau, Rococo, Eclectic, Brancovan - these arejust a few of the architectural styles represented by a great many buildings in the towns and cities and throughout the countryside of Romania. These vestiges reflect precious fragments of a unique and rich history, a kaleidoscope of images that act as a constant reminder that this was where the Occident traditionally confronted the Orient. Some of these castles and palaces were designed, in part, by famous foreign architects, others by Romanians, whose inspiration is manifested in the fine lines and figures of these edificies, blends of Eastern and Western cultures in perfect armony. The creators of these constructions were princes, kings, rulers, magnates of the time, even dictators, all of them with a common love of art and culture. Let's discover together the great fortified churches of Saxon Transylvania, the "Burgkirken", or dramatic castle ruins guarding strategic passes and trade routes.
