Sebeş

Sebeş is a Hungarian word meaning Last and is an important city in medieval Transylvania. The Evangelical Church is perhaps the finest Gothic church in Transylvania.
The original Romanesque basilica was built between 1240 and 1270, with a disproportionately large and grand choir added by 1382, followed by the upper part of the tower in 1664. The choir boasts the best Parleresque statues in Transylvania, as well as a large polychrome altar, dating from 1518.









The cemetery chapel, built in 1400.
