点评:Climb the covered wooden staircase to reach Biertan Fortified Church - a perfectly preserved UNESCO World Heritage fortress. The complex, built 1490-1520, features the late gothic-style hall church at its core surrounded by three rings of defensive walls, towers and bastions. A "hall church" is one where the primary nave and side aisles are basically the same height, so the church's interior seems like one big hall. The Biertan Fortified Church is truly impressive with its original frescoes, historical altar and beautifully-painted pews. Wallk the entire complex to understand why it is considered one of the strongest fortified churches to exist in Transylvania. Aside from the massive Saxon church, its towers are imposing with their differing functions and the tombstones of the Saxon bishops are interesting to peruse. For the modest entrance fee of 20 LEI, a visit to the Biertan Fortified Church is well worth a stop.
