We arrive at Viscri village to visit the enchanting Viscri Evangelist Fortified Church ,which is one of a series of UNESCO-listed historic churches in Romania, located on top of a hill that towers above the area, the church is ringed by two rows of walls and has 4 defensive towers, one of which is particularly huge, erected in 1494. Today Viscri is home to only 25 Saxons, as most of them left for Germany, following the fall of the communist regime. Many of the Saxon deserted houses were in danger of collapse, though a number of them have been rescued thanks to Prince Charles.
