History
Transylvania’s towns reflect Saxon (German) settlement from the 12th century, layered later by Habsburg and Romanian royal influences; Sighisoara remains one of Europe’s few continuously inhabited medieval citadels.
Conservation
Historic centers are fragile—stick to marked paths, support local guide services and local businesses, and avoid touching frescoes or architectural features.
