Route: BUNEŞTI – CRIŢ – MEŞENDORF – ROADEŞ – VISCRI

 These villages in the Buneşti township are representative for what is understood by rural citadel or fortified church starting with the 13th Century and sometimes even late 12th Century After five, six, seven centuries, these edifices are still standing proof of a unique mode of existence in communities bound around the citadel-church. From the first places of worship in the form of modest wooden constructions, the Saxon colonists started building ever bigger and stronger churches in stone, which, throughout the centuries, helped protect not only small village communities, but the whole of Transylvania from the invading tribes and populations, like the Turks.
