Transylvania - its name derives from a Latin expression meaning the land beyond the forest -, is a unique place, home to nearly two hundred villages with fortified churches, built by German craftsmen and merchants known as Saxons, between the 13th and 15th centuries. Having to withstand constant invaders, the villages were fortified with defense walls, having the capacity to shelter a large number of people. Seven of these fortified churches were designated by Unesco as World Heritage Sites.
