Somartin Fortified Church

In the 13th century, a three-nave basilica with a west tower was built on a hill in the middle of Șomartin. In 1520, the community received a grant from the treasury of the Sibiu Province to fortify the church. In the course of fortifying the church, a defense level was built above the choir. The best-preserved part of the Romanesque church is the western front with the portal and tower. In the 18th century, the basilica cross-section was altered by the addition of side aisles and the construction of bricked galleries
