Bistrita is a medium-sized town that preserves a remarkable medieval center. The Evangelical Church is the symbol of Bistrita, with a steeple rising over 75 meters high.

Bistrita is one of the 7 Saxon towns of Transylvania. The old town center with its grand Evangelical Church, recently restored after a fire, offers you a window into the architecture of a Saxon town—similar to what you'll discover in southern Transylvania.
