Mercheasa Fortified Church

Of the Romanesque basilica from the 13th century, the nave and the square of the choir are preserved. In the 15th century, when the side aisles were removed and the arcades were bricked up, the basilica changed into a hall church. In addition, entrance halls were added on the north and south sides in more recent times. The church was once surrounded by a six- to seven-meter high defensive wall from the first half of the 16th century in the form of an irregular quadrilateral with towers in each corner.
