Press Release
Transylvania has long been considered the cultural centre of both the Hungarian and Romanian nations. Its extraordinarily diverse heritage was created by religious tolerance, pioneer settlers and the successive influence of the Roman Empire, the Holy Roman Empire and later the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the 12th century, the Saxons founded seven historically significant fortified towns, which gave rise to the name of Transylvania, which are the ornament of the region and testify to the Saxon (German) community's presence in southern Transylvania for almost nine hundred years. This cultural and architectural heritage is unparalleled in the European context.
In addition to the Saxons, a Jewish community settled and developed in Transylvania, along with Greek Orthodox, Greek and Roman Catholics and Protestants. Looking deeper into history, there are also Persian, Turkish and especially Roman influences. These are all pieces to the rich cultural mosaic of the area.
