Optional Sights to Visit on This Trip

Fortress of Deva

Strategically perched atop a volcanic hill at 378 meters above sea level, the Fortress of Deva offers panoramic views over the Mureș Valley. With origins in the 13th century and signs of earlier habitation from the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, this citadel once controlled the routes through Transylvania and served as a military stronghold for princes and duchesses.

Corvin Castle

Also known as Hunyadi Castle, this Gothic-Renaissance fortress in Hunedoara is one of Europe’s largest castles. Built in the 15th century by John Hunyadi, the castle impresses with its towers, turrets, grand halls, and drawbridge. Rich in both legend and architectural innovation, it’s an essential stop for lovers of medieval history.

Sibiu

A cultural gem of Transylvania, Sibiu was once the heart of the Transylvanian Saxons and was named European Capital of Culture in 2007. With cobblestone streets, colorful baroque buildings, fortified walls, and vibrant squares like Piața Mare and Piața Mică, the city blends history and charm in every corner.

Curtea de Argeș Monastery

Built in the early 16th century, this monastery is famous both for its striking Moorish-Byzantine architecture and for the dramatic legend of Master Manole. According to folklore, Manole immured his wife in the walls to ensure the monastery’s stability. Today, it's a revered spiritual site and one of Romania’s most iconic landmarks.

Basarbovo Monastery

Set in the cliffs above the Rusenski Lom River near Ruse, this Orthodox cave monastery honors Saint Dimitar Basarbovski, a local shepherd who became a hermit and saint. The peaceful rock sanctuary offers a spiritual atmosphere and views over the surrounding valley, making it a serene cultural stop before crossing into Bulgaria.

Rock-Hewn Churches of Ivanovo

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the churches of Ivanovo are carved into solid rock and date from the 13th to 17th centuries. The site once included up to 40 churches and 300 monk dwellings. Visitors today can still admire vivid medieval frescoes, which reflect the religious artistry of Bulgaria’s Second Empire.
