Sura Mica Fortified Church

The church in Șura Mică remained almost unchanged after the construction phases between the 13th and 15th century. It was built as a Romanesque three-aisles basilica, destroyed in 1493 during the Ottoman raids and erected again before 1506. The chancel with mullioned windows and ribbed vault originate from that time. The central nave was covered with a barrel vault with a ribbing net and the western tower was equipped with a defence level. The western and northern portals date back to the same period, as well as the small defence tower above the northern entrance securing the church from the side of the valley.
