Biertan fortified church Biertan, a German settlement from 1224, among the most important Saxon villages with fortified churches, on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, is one of the most visited villages in Transylvania (Romania). As any other Transylvanian Saxon Community, it had an urban organization, being noticed the franconic style of the rows of houses around the central square overlooked.

This image fascinated me and I decided to transfer it on canvas. Biertan fortified church, by George Budai, July 2015, Oil on canvas 50 x 40 cm.
