Architecture in Transylvania Romania The diverse landscape of Transylvania is abundant in beauties of nature and relics of its stirring history. Innumerable castles, fortresses, palaces and churches but also peasant houses and townhouses hold on to something and tell us about something. There are no settlements, buildings or mountains about which we can't read in history books, novels or legends. On the mountain tops, there are ruins of castles and the ravines streams flow and the huge forest - caves can be found. Endless alpine meadows in the high mountain shining tons - awaits visitors, strange cliff clefs, thermal springs, salt domes, salty lakes and original pine woods. All provide new surprises. In hidden valleys, the bells of century old wooden churches bring. On the hills fortified churches with thick walls watch over the country side. The charm of histories surrounds us and reminds of such eras we know past long ago but they can be felt even today. The atmosphere of the churches, palaces, mansions and medieval cities surrounded with walls and towers and the old cemeteries are enchanting. Transylvania has always been in the home of the arts, the books of the great figures of Transylvanian literature fill huge libraries. We could admire the majority of the great works of architecture and fine arts even today. Folk music and the folk arts maybe more alive here after the millennium than anywhere else in Europe, wood carvings are present not only in the from of sculptures, headboards and building ornaments. The typical elements of the architecture of the country are beautifully carved and in some of the localities colorfully painted Seke Gates. These are widespread in nearly around the world. The most beautiful ones can be seen in Madefalva. But the men are good at carving wood and pottery; the women embroider beautiful tablecloths and make thick rolling carpets.
