We propose a cultural tour focused on the murals - from the pre-Reformation period - of three lesser-known and less visited fortified churches around Mediaș: Dârlos, Șmig, Curciu. And Mălâncrav - the village with one of the biggest still remaining Saxon communities.

Each church offers surprises both in terms of architecture and painting.
For example, in Curciu, we find murals that belong more to an international Gothic style - found in the noble palaces of the Kingdom of Hungary.
At Dârlos we have a Gothic portal next to a Renaissance portal (and what a simpler way to learn to tell them apart) and a painting of two Orthodox saints (among others).
At Şmig, a small church without a tower, with a large painted surface, where excavation work was also done in the summer of 2022.
At the church in Mălâncrav we have the largest painted mural surface in the Saxon area.

Meeting: 10:00 a.m., in front of the Via Transilvanica stop in front of the evangelical church of Saint Margaret
The experience is designed so that we travel with a minibus. It's a cultural tour, not a hike: we get off, visit the sights, walk around the village, return to the minibus.
