Roades Fortified Church

The church-fortress stands on a hill west of the village. A noble family of Comites was mentioned in the 15th century. Around 1500 the village of Roadeş belonged to the Sighişoara Chair. A Gothic church, probably a basilica, dedicated to Saint John was built in the 14th century. In spite of a later enveloping process, one can still recognize on the ground floor of the west tower of this old church a porch opening on four sides via pointed arches.
